WWI Government Cigarette Ad


               People of God, it is the same corporate and government interests that have sold fluoride to
               the public as an advantageous health benefit. In truth fluoride is an industrial toxin that has
               been linked to bone cancer, bone deformities, Alzheimer’s disease, increased bone fractures,
               adverse thyroid function, dental fluorosis, osteoporosis, and decreased mental ability,
               among other maladies. Fluoride accumulates in the body, concentrating mainly in the
               bones.


               The  thinking  of  the  aluminum  manufacturers  is  that  if  they  could  change  the  public
               perception of fluoride from that of a hazardous waste, to a substance endorsed by medical
               and  dental  professionals  as  beneficial  to  human  health,  then  they  could  defeat  the
               burgeoning legal attacks levied against them. Furthermore, if they could get people to ingest
               fluoride regularly, then it would be all the more difficult to prove that the fluoride in a
               person’s body was the result of a nearby aluminum plant, rather than from the water they
               drink.

               Christopher Bryson points out in his book that one of the chief medical doctors responsible
               for getting fluoride approved by the government was Dr. Robert Kehoe who sponsored
               fluoride research at the University of Cincinnati in the 1940s and 1950s.

               Kehoe is better known today for his career-long defense of the safety of adding lead to
               gasoline (now discredited). But he was also a leading figure reassuring citizens and
               scientists  of  the  safety  of  industrial  fluoride  and  water  fluoridation,  while  burying
               information  about  the chemical’s toxic  effects and privately sharing doubts with  his
               corporate sponsors about the safety of even tiny amounts of the chemical.

               The same people who have brought you leaded gasoline, and the health benefits of smoking,
               have assured the American public that fluoride is both safe and beneficial, and they should
               not be worried about this industrial chemical being added to their drinking water.

               Fluoride has never actually been proven to help prevent cavities, and evidence reveals that
               if it has even a minute benefit, that is derived by the fluoride being applied topically to the
               outside of the teeth while brushing. There is absolutely no evidence that fluoride ingested
