THE FLUORIDE DECEPTION

THE FLUORIDE CONTROVERSY

The principal advocate for water fluoridation was the Chief Toxicologist of the Manhattan Project, the team responsible for the atomic bomb's creation, which utilized vast amounts of fluoride.

Lt. Col. Cooper B. Rhodes to General Leslie Groves, May 2, 1946: "Because of complaints that animals and humans have been injured by fluoride fumes in (the New Jersey) area... the University of Rochester is conducting experiments to determine the toxic effect of fluoride."

Declassified documents show that the Atomic Energy Commission restricted the publication of scientific data that might lead to litigation against the bomb program by affected workers or nearby communities:

ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION, Oct 8, 1947: "Information which would invite or tend to encourage claims against the Atomic Energy Commission or its contractors should be reworded or deleted."

If water fluoridation were proven harmful, it would have opened up the U.S. bomb program and various industries polluting with fluoride to significant legal action.

Fluoride is not a naturally occurring additive in water but an industrial byproduct. The initial push for water fluoridation came from the Mellon Institute, which had previously claimed asbestos was safe, after being commissioned by the aluminum industry to address their fluoride pollution issues.

Workers in aluminum factories have suffered from emphysema due to fluoride exposure. Many dentists might not know that the fluoride added to public water supplies is actually a pharmaceutical-grade waste product from the Florida Phosphate industry. In the 1950s, this industry faced lawsuits from locals harmed by fluoride emissions, which killed cattle and crops.

Currently, this industry circumvents the need for toxic waste disposal by distributing this fluoride waste across the country for use in water fluoridation.

Resistance to water fluoridation emerged soon after its implementation, spearheaded by Dr. George L. Waldbott, who also raised early concerns about smoking-induced emphysema. He was discredited and sidelined.

In the 1990s, Dr. William Marcus, the Senior Toxicologist at the EPA, alleged that cancer studies on fluoride were manipulated, showing it caused bone and liver cancer in rats. He was dismissed from his position, which a federal judge later ruled was due to his vocal opposition to fluoride.

Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, once a proponent of fluoride at the Forsyth Dental Institute, discovered through her research that modest fluoride doses could lower children's IQ. After her study was accepted for publication, she was fired and subsequently ostracized from further research funding.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has advocated for the removal of fluoride from public water supplies, highlighting the need for reevaluation of this practice based on these historical and scientific insights.

The case for removing fluoride from public water systems seems compelling given this background, pointing to a need for a thorough reassessment of its safety and necessity.
