Documentary Description
Hailed as a harmless chemical that would prevent tooth decay, new
evidence shows how fluoride could be linked to serious health problems.
Fluoridation was first advanced in the US at the end of the second
World War. Proponents argued that fluoride in water and toothpaste
would help to protect teeth and prevent decay. Over the following
decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country.
While the benefits of fluoridation have been held to be
unquestionable, accumulating evidence points to a fleftening prospect:
that fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant
mortality, congenital defects and IQ.
Now a new book, titled “The Fluoride Deception” by Christopher
Bryson examines the background of the fluoridation debate. According to
Bryson, research challenging fluoride’s safety was either suppressed or
not conducted in the first place. He says fluoridation is a triumph not
of medical science but of US government spin.
