: How a Modest Public Health Measure Became America's Longest Running Political Melodrama

A lively account of fluoridation and its discontents

Since its first implementation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1945, public drinking water fluoridation and its attendant conflicts, controversies, and conspiracy theories serve as an object lesson in American science, public health, and policymaking. In addition to the arguments on the issue still raging today, the tale of fluoridation and its discontents also resonates with such present concerns as genetically modified foods, global warming response, nuclear power, and environmental regulation.

Offering the best current thinking on the issue, The Fluoride Wars presents a witty and detailed social history of the fluoridation debate in America, illuminating the intersection of science and politics in our recent past. This reader-friendly assessment explores the pro- and anti-fluoridation movements, key players, and important events. Full of amusing and vivid anecdotes and examples, this accessible recounting includes:

A careful and non-condescending look at the hard science, popular science, pseudo-science, and junk science involved

A look at fluoride issues including dosage, cost, financial and funding interests, fluorosis, and problems of risk-cost-benefit analysis

The back-and-forth drama between pro- and anti-fluoridation factions, with all its claims, counterclaims, insults, acrimony, and lawsuits

Case studies of various cities and their experiences with municipal water fluoridation initiatives

Fluorophobia and popular conspiracy theories involving fluoride

The colorful characters in the debate including activists, scientists, magicians, and politicians

A richly and considerately told tale of American science and public life, The Fluoride Wars offers an engrossing history to both interested general readers and specialists in public health, dentistry, policymaking, and related fields.

Why are 'THEY' so intent and concerned that everyone get dosed with and accept 'the benefits' of fluoride? Fresh fruit and veggies are good for us, yet I don't see them mandating that all children receive a daily bag of natures goodies care of the Govt. and private industry.

The 'fluoride' that 'the authorities' around the world are so forcefully trying to dump in the water supply of the masses is hydrofluoric acid - a fluorine compound and industrial waste byproduct of the chemical, construction, fertilizer and arms industries. Since it costs money to store or dispose of such carcinogenic waste, why not re-label it a health nutrient and dump it into the water supply and buy off the dental industry who promote it as as the miracle cure for your teeth...and dumb down the population and get rid of some of the 'useless eaters' as a bonus.

If fluoride is so safe, why are there warnings regarding ingestion on toothpaste. Why was there a huge panic regarding fluoridic as in Iceland in May? - "The animals are at risk of fluoride poisoning if they inhale or ingest the ash, leading to internal bleeding, long-term bone damage and teeth loss." - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8629241.stm

Ask yourself who benefits in the long run, and since when does Govt, Big Pharma, the Mil Industrial Complex, the wealthy elite etc give a shit about the health of Joe Public, unless they stand to gain?
