Throughout the 50s and 60s, fluoride was added to the water supply in the US and UK and, since 1964, much of the Republic of Ireland has been fluoridated. The improvement in dental health during this time served as incontestable proof that fluoride was working. This is an expose of the very real threat the fluoridation of water poses.

"Concerns over fluoridated drinking water have long been derided as the obsession of McCarthyite cranks. But this muckraking j'accuse asserts that fluoride is indeed a dire threat to public health, one foisted upon the nation by a vast conspiracy-not of Communist agents, but of our very own military-industrial complex. Investigative reporter Bryson revisits the decades-long controversy, drawing on mountains of scientific studies, some unearthed from secret archives of government and corporate laboratories, to question the effects of fluoride and the motives of its leading advocates." <br>-Publishers Weekly <p>"'""The Fluoride Deception" "reads like a whodunit. There are conspiracies, cover-ups, human casualties, and broken careers. The prime suspects in this toxic thriller are compounds of fluoride; the coconspirators represent industry, the military, and the public health community. At the book's ending, the suspect chemicals are not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but we are left with compelling evidence that powerful interests with high financial stakes have colluded to prematurely close honest discussion and investigation into fluoride toxicity." <br>- "Sheldon Krimsky, "Chemical and Engineering News," <br>August 16, 2004 Volume 82, Number 33 pp. 35"
