Christopher Bryson, an investigative reporter and producer of BBC, wrote a book after ten years worth of valuable research. In Bryson’s work, The Fluoride Deception, he manifests how individuals and institutions have played a role in shaping public opinion, and how public policy has developed in the process.

We have been coerced since childhood to believe that toothpaste with fluoride is beneficial to our teeth. We have been convinced that fluoride in our water is not harmful and will prevent tooth decay. What we haven’t been told is the truth… that the fluoride is dumbing us down, in fact, a Harvard study has found that fluoride lowers the IQ in children.

Fluoride toxicity is real and the Fluoride Deception is real. “Between 1990 and 1994, over 628 people, mostly children, were treated after ingesting too much fluoride from their toothpaste. Gastrointestinal symptoms appear to be the most common problem reported.”

A study published in Environmental Health Perspectives stated the following results:

The standardized weighted mean difference in IQ score between exposed and reference populations was -0.45 (95% CI -0.56 to -0.35) using a random-effects model. Thus, children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low fluoride areas. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses also indicated inverse associations, although the substantial heterogeneity did not appear to decrease.

Another study in a journal concluded that “fluoride treatment is associated with testicular disorders.” Studies have suggested that exposure to fluoride could alter the reproductive hormones in human beings.

In the early 1950’s, Dr. George Waldbott became “one of the first to warn of the potential health effects of mass fluoridation.” Even though Waldbott was criticised for his opposition to fluoride, “he was considered one of the key figures in the antifluoridation movement for over two decades.”

You also are presented with the The Deepwater Documents, where a couple of journalists suggest the lawsuits that the US encountered were because of fluoride damage, and not over radiation. During the Manhattan Project, it was discovered that it was necessary to use uranium hexafluoride, which indeed is a component that includes fluoride.

In October of 1948, a tragedy struck in Donora, Pennsylvania, which killed twenty people. In the incident known as the Donora Death Fog, Philip Sadtler uncovered the truth that fluoride was to blame for the horror.

The 1948 Donora smog was a “historic air inversion resulting in a wall of smog that killed 20 people and sickened 7,000 more in Donora, Pennsylvania, a mill town on the Monongahela River, 24 miles (39 km) southeast of Pittsburgh.”

Fluorine is also used in pharmaceuticals.
