Fluoride added to tap water, as fluorosilicic acid, is not a nutrient. It is a known neurotoxin at ANY level.

A History of Poisoning

Since 1896, sodium fluoride has been used as a rat poison and insecticide in England.

After WWII, The World Health Organization deployed a Nazi-made insecticide more lethal than DDT, called DFDT (difluoro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane), replacing 2 chlorine atoms with fluorine. It has been “rediscovered” as a DDT replacement for future use.

In 1950, fluoride was added to toothpaste in formulations of stannous fluoride, including amine fluoride with stannous chloride, sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, with enough risk to carry a warning label for poison.
.

By the 1960s, the phosphate fertilizer industry began adding its toxic byproduct, fluorosilicic acid (fluoride), to municipal water supplies; known as water fluoridation.

In 1983, the USEPA claimed that flurosilisic acid is “safe and effective.”

Demographics

Water fluoridation is common in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Chile and Australia, where over 50% of the population drinks fluoridated water. 

While most European countries do not fluoridate water [Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland], cheaper salt fluoridation reaches several European countries and more than one hundred million people in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Cuba.

The Dose-Response Excuse

How does a toxic industrial byproduct get approved as an additive to municipal drinking water and toothpaste?Image by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/stevepb-282134/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=571741">Steve Buissinne</a> from <a href="https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=571741">Pixabay</a>

1). Global deception to “prevent tooth decay” via government spin.

2). Industry worked out a deal to dispose of hazardous waste in the water supply. The solution to pollution is dilution!

3). A close relationship between industry and dental associations.

4). Toxicologists developed exposure guidelines and reference doses! Since “the dose makes the poison,” fluoride is legally allowed to be in food, toothpaste, prescription antibiotics (as fluoroquinilines), and water, at a specified dose. Fluoride is also found in tea, coffee, shellfish, grapes (raisins, wine, grape juice), artificial sweeteners, sodas, potatoes, flavored popsicles, baby foods, broths, stews, and hot cereals made with tap water.

5). In 2022, a government report was blocked from public view confirming fluoride health dangers. The USEPA continues to claim fluoride is “safe and effective,” even when they have not identified a safe cumulative dose from all potential fluoride exposures—daily, yearly, or over a lifetime. While some studies have attempted to identify a dose, a 2025 JAMA study concluded:

There were limited data and uncertainty in the dose-response association between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ when fluoride exposure was estimated by drinking water alone at concentrations less than 1.5 mg/L.

Landmark Studies

Decades after a landmark Fluoride study by Phyllis Mullenix, published in the 1995 Journal of Neurotoxicology and Teratology, fluoride is STILL in the drinking water.  Is fluoride good for teeth? Mullenix answers… listen to the end.

In her research, Mullenix drew four main conclusions:

  • fluoride accumulates in the brain.
  • postnatal fluoride exposure generated permanent changes in behavioral patterns to a hypoactivity pattern (hypothyroid). 
  • prenatal fluoride exposure generated hyperactivity (hyperthyroid).
  • older animals are more susceptible to the effects of fluoride in the drinking water.

Fluoride accumulation in important regions of the rat brain, especially the hippocampus, was found to increase as the drinking water fluoride levels increased. These effects, and the sex differences observed, corresponded to those observed in other studies of hippocampal brain damage.

Three days after Mullenix announced to the Forsyth Institute that she had been accepted for publication by the journal, she was dismissed from her position.

A little known fact:  fluoridation chemicals added to public water supplies can leach lead from water pipes and increase lead levels in children’s blood.

Known Toxic Health Effects From Fluoride Exposure:

The Fluoride Action Network categorizes Health Effects, showing:

A 2014 study in the Lancet Neurology, described a “global pandemic of neurodevelopmental disorders” based on known Image by <a href="https://pixabay.com/users/openclipart-vectors-30363/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=146494">OpenClipart-Vectors</a> from <a href="https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=146494">Pixabay</a> neurotoxicants in the environment. The authors went beyond fluoride, to include manganese, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

Knowing fluoride toxicity affects every part of the human (and animal) body, fluoride is still added to water supples, and still regarded as “safe and effective.” 

How do health authorities conclude that fluoride is “unequivocally safe” despite proof showing otherwise, most recently in 2012, 2017, and 2019?

The answer is elusive.

Recent News!

For more than 75 years, the government has relied on discredited science to continue unfunded mandates in medicating the the public water supply with fluoride. 

That is slowly changing….

Currently, six major U.S. cities no longer add fluoride to municipal water supplies. 

The European Union will ban mercury amalgams in 2025. However, fluoride is added to salt in Austria, France, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland.

More lawmakers are introducing bills to remove fluoride from the water supply.

FDA announced it will remove prescription fluoride supplements for children from the market due to emergency health risks.

But none of these changes come soon enough to correct the damage already done.

The healthy solution? Don’t drink the tap water!
