With the narrative punch of Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action and the commitment to environmental truth-telling of Erin Brockovich, The Fluoride Deception documents a powerful connection between big corporations, the U.S. military, and the historic reassurances of fluoride safety provided by the nation’s public health establishment. The Fluoride Deception reads like a thriller, but one supported by two hundred pages of source notes, years of investigative reporting, scores of scientist interviews, and archival research in places such as the newly opened files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. The book is nothing less than an exhumation of one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era: how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste.

Sodium Fluoride is a deadly toxin. It is used in rat poison, pesticides and toothpaste. This is pretty much the untold story of how an enzyme disrupter came to be in your toothpaste. Sodium fluoride attacks every major organ in the body, including the thyroid, the petuitary gland in the brain, it weakens your teeth and bones, causes cancer and disrupts enzyme activity meaning that it attacks every living cell in your body. I haven't used fluoride toothpaste since reading this book.
Great book showing how industrial waste is dumped in our daily products and advertised as being for our own benefit. Very little is done these days unless someone is earning big money at some point down the line. Also worth looking into MSG, BPA (Bisphenol A) and aspartame sweeteners. Also recommend the fluoride deception videos which you can find on 'well known video watching sites'!! Makes you wonder about 'government recommendations' such as how much water we should drink, eat 5 fruit and veg a day etc etc - people have got by fine for many years without all these guidances, and if you look into how much disease and illness is about these days it does make you wonder about the true health effects of many things in food and products.
This is a very thick and well written book. It is both story and investigative search for the truth about fluoride. It discusses a variety of implications around fluoride. What is completely clear from reading the book, is how absolutely toxic and dangerous fluoride is. The government knows this, yet still supports and allows for our water supply and air to be poisoned.
For me the most surprising chapter is on PFC's, Perfluorocarbon which is a super dangerous modern form of fluoride that is used in textiles like Gor-Tex. The chemical company studied how these new PFC molecules have traveled all over the planet and are everywhere because they don't degrade, or it is difficult to dissolve them. The Fluoride Deception is a tale of the madness of modern humans, who are acting in complete disrespect and disregard to life on earth, and hurting people in the process.
I pray for the end of the crime of water fluoridation and the use of fluoride in foods and metals.
And by the way, it causes tooth problems, it doesn't help them.
