The Fluoride Deception

By Christopher Bryson. This exposé unearths the mystery of how and why this poisonous substance and environmental pollutant was added to our drinking water and toothpaste. Award-winning reporter Christopher Bryson, who had access to information previously unavailable to other writers, chronicles the abuses of power and the creation of government-sponsored propaganda that led to fluoride's widespread use. The book reveals how a secretive group of powerful industries, all of which faced extensive litigation for fluoride pollution, collaborated with officials from the National Institute of Dental Research to put a positive spin on fluoride's image.
