In a society where asbestos, lead, silica, beryllium and many other carcinogens have found
their way into the marketplace and then been recalled, one has to wonder why fluoride, so
toxic it is used as a rat poison and pesticide, is embraced so thoroughly and so blindly.
The Fluoride Deception unearths the mystery of how a grim workplace poison and the most
damaging environmental pollutant of the Cold War was added to our drinking water and
toothpaste. A chronicle of the abuse of power and of the manufacture of state-sponsored
medical propaganda, The Fluoride Deception reveals how a secretive group of powerful
industries, all of which faced extensive litigation for fluoride pollution, collaborated
with officials from the National Institute of Dental Research to launder fluoride's public
image.Book Description
A chronicle of the abuse of power and of the manufacture of state-sponsored medical
propaganda, The Fluoride Deception reveals how military and industry scientists and
public health officials buried information about fluorides potential for human harm, while
promoting its use in dentistry.
The Fluoride Deception reveals that fluoride pollution
was the greatest legal threat facing the wartime Manhattan Project. And the book documents
how a secretive group of powerful industries, who all faced extensive litigation for
fluoride pollution, collaborated with the Institute of Dental Research to launder
fluorides image. Well meet the dissident scientists who warned us about fluoride from the
beginning. Well sit with the famous doctor whod alerted America in the 1950s to the
dangers of cigarette smoking, who reported that fluoride was a systemic poison, with tens
of thousands of citizens uniquely sensitive to even tiny doses. Well walk the cobbled
streets of Donora, Pennsylvania, in the shrouded aftermath of the nations most notorious
air pollution disaster in 1948, and meet the scientist who blamed -fluoride for the
deaths.
Today, that scientist joins a growing number of health
experts who call fluoride a venomous and hydra-headed poison. They suspect its involvement
in a host of modern illnesses, including arthritis, bone cancer, and emphysema, and a
spectrum of central nervous system disorders such as Alzheimers disease and the epidemic
of attention deficit disorder sweeping Americas children.
Christopher Bryson is an award-winning Columbia Journalism
School-trained investigative reporter and television producer. After reporting on
Guatemalan Army human rights abuses from Central America in the late 1980s for the BBC

team that won a National Headliner award at ABC News Productions for a History Channel
documentary on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.

T. Daniel, Author of The
Whole Soy Story : The Dark Side of Americas Favorite Health Food
Consumer Beware! Fluoride's Even in Some Health Foods , June 12, 2005
This book refutes the mass of commercially motivated lies and propaganda about
fluoride, giving us the facts and motivation we need to make the effort to keep this
poisonous substance out of our lives. The challenge is that fluoride is nearly everywhere
-- not only in most toothpastes and tap water but in processed, packaged, prepared and
fast foods. Most of these are either manufactured using fluoridated tap water or include
it as an ingredient. Surprisingly, this is also true of some "health foods,"
with high levels of fluoride found in soy protein isolate, a key ingredient in energy
bars, shake powders, veggie burgers and infant formula. Babies on soy formula are at
special risk not only for developing dental fluorosis but the mental fluorosis of
ADD/ADHD. Although the fluoride levels of both soy and dairy formulas exceed that of
breast milk, only soy formulas exceed safe levels when reconstituted with non-fluoridated
distilled water. The levels increase considerably when parents reconstitute soy formula
with fluoridated tap water. Worse, these soy bottle-fed infants are simultaneously exposed
to high levels of neurotoxic aluminum, cadmium, manganese and plant estrogens. It's bad
enough to expose adults to fluoride with its well-established links to cancer, thyroid and
other endocrine system disorders but unconscionable to expose infants and children whose
brain, reproductive and other systems are developing. I urge readers to buy extra copies
of this book, give them to public health officials, urge them to stop promoting fluoride
as beneficial to our health, warn the public about its toxicity and to press for the
legislation needed to remove this waste product from our water supply.
