We have no idea of the full extent of damage that fluoride is doing to other wildlife and plants. It started with money, was furthered by fear, and is perpetuated by ignorance or a disregard for the facts. But tumult soon subsides.

It's about an industry-backed program to get rid of one of its most toxic wastes. It's about waste disposal. It's about big business and dirty politics. It's about protecting a long-standing public health policy set in stone 50 years ago, which falsely claims that fluoridation is safe and effective. The Public Health Service has entrenched itself in a scientifically insupportable position.
