Well, that’s exactly what’s happening with water fluoridation.
For decades, we’ve been told fluoride in our water is for our health. But here’s the dirty truth: the fluoride used in water treatment is not the same as what’s in toothpaste. The fluoride in your tap water is an unregulated industrial waste—scraped from the smokestacks of fertilizer factories and dumped into public water supplies. It’s time to wake up and stop this mass-medication experiment.
The Big Fluoride Lie: Industrial Waste in Your Drinking Water
The fluoride in toothpaste is pharmaceutical-grade sodium fluoride, and even that comes with a poison warning label. If a child swallows just a small amount, you’re advised to call Poison Control. Yet somehow, we’re expected to believe that adding fluoride to drinking water—with zero dosage control—is safe?
And it gets worse. The fluoride used in water treatment isn’t even the pharmaceutical kind. Municipalities don’t add medical-grade fluoride to your water. They add hydrofluorosilicic acid, a waste product from the phosphate fertilizer and aluminium industries that contains contaminants like arsenic, lead, and even radioactive elements.
This is the same chemical that, if sprayed into the air or dumped into a river or landfill, would be classified as hazardous industrial waste. But when it’s added to drinking water, it magically transforms into a “health benefit”?
Water Fluoridation: A Forced, Uncontrolled Experiment
Unlike fluoride toothpaste, which you can choose to use or avoid, water fluoridation is forced medication. There is no individual dosage control—whether you’re an infant, an adult, or someone with kidney disease, you get the same dose.
Would you ever take an unmeasured amount of medication every day, indefinitely, with no medical supervision? That’s exactly what fluoridation forces upon millions of people.
Fluoride Is Linked to Serious Health Risks
Water fluoridation has been linked to:
Lower IQ in children – A 2019 study funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health found that prenatal fluoride exposure led to significantly lower IQ scores in children.
Thyroid dysfunction – Fluoride was once prescribed to lower thyroid function in hyperthyroid patients. Now, millions unknowingly consume it daily.
Bone damage and fractures – Studies show long-term fluoride exposure can lead to skeletal fluorosis, which weakens bones and increases fracture risk.
Neurotoxicity – Research suggests fluoride may contribute to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Who Profits from Water Fluoridation?
If fluoridation is so harmful, why is it still in our water? Simple: money.
Phosphate fertilizer and aluminium plants do not want to spend millions disposing of fluoride as toxic waste. Instead of paying for hazardous waste disposal, they sell it to water treatment plants as a “health product.”
That’s right: the fluoride added to your water is not a medical treatment—it’s a profitable waste disposal scheme.
Meanwhile, countries like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Germany have outright banned water fluoridation. They looked at the evidence and said, “Yeah, no thanks.”
Countries That Have Banned Water Fluoridation
Many developed nations have outright banned fluoridation, including:
Sweden, Denmark, and Norway – Rejected fluoridation after determining it was neither necessary nor safe.
Germany and the Netherlands – Banned it due to ethical concerns and lack of scientific evidence.
Japan – Does not fluoridate its water due to potential health risks.
62% of Canada and 94% of the world have rejected fluoridation.
Yet in North America, millions are still being force-fed a toxic waste under the guise of public health.
How to Avoid Fluoride
If the thought of drinking repurposed chimney sludge makes you queasy, here’s how to cut it out of your life:
Filter your water – A reverse osmosis or activated alumina filter can remove fluoride.
Ditch fluoridated toothpaste – There are plenty of fluoride-free options that clean your teeth without the toxic load.
Eat organic – Fluoride is also used in pesticides, meaning non-organic produce could have extra doses.
Spread the word – Most people have no clue what they’re consuming. Share the truth.
Demand Local Change – Contact your city council and demand an end to water fluoridation. If enough people speak up, they will listen.
Stop Drinking the Fluoridation Kool-Aid
Fluoride isn’t the innocent cavity-fighter you’ve been led to believe. It’s a toxic industrial waste repackaged as health policy. And while the science exposing its dangers is piling up, the people profiting from it don’t want you to ask questions.
But you should. Because once you start questioning fluoride, you start questioning a whole lot more.
Final Thought:
No one should be forced to consume an unregulated industrial waste product in their drinking water.
Water is a human necessity, not a vehicle for mass medication. It’s time to stop water fluoridation and take back control of what we put in our bodies.
