The reader will be amazed to find out that such a thing is not only unlikely, but actually the reverse of the ongoing reality The U.S. has been fluoridating drinking water for so many decades that we hardly think about it. Very few articles appear about fluoridation in newspapers and magazines any more. At least chlorine will evaporate from a glass of water if you let it sit for an hour or so. No such luck with fluoride. Even cooking, food processing, filtration, or digestion doesn't remove fluoride. Goes right up the food chain. Accumulates in fat cells.

If you've followed the debates about chemical contaminants in the environment, you've probably already heard at least one of these claims before: "These chemicals meet EPA standards," or

But once you scratch the surface, they prove to be little more than carefully constructed fictions and half-truths that obscure the real facts. Find out more.
