About this book

When the US Public Health Service endorsed water fluoridation in 1959, there was little evidence of its safety. Now, six decades later and after most countries have rejected the practice, more than 70 per cent of Americans, as well as 200 million people worldwide, are drinking fluoridated water. The Centre for Disease Control and the American Dental Association continue to promote it - and even support mandatory state-wide water fluoridation - despite increasing evidence that it is not only unnecessary, but potentially hazardous to humans.

In this book, the authors take a new look at the science behind water fluoridation and argue that just because the dental and medical establishments endorse a public health measure does not mean it is safe. And from an ethical standpoint, they say, water fluoridation is a bad medical practice: individuals are being forced to take medication without their informed consent; there is no control over the dose and no monitoring of possible side effects.

Media reviews
This volume will quickly become the most trusted compendium of evidence and argument critical of fluoridation worldwide - and quite right too. The Scientific & Medical Network - Feb 2011 "If you are interested in the fluoride debate you should read this book. However, more importantly, if you are disinterested in the fluoridation of drinking water or are strongly pro-fluoridation, you must also read it." Caduceus - February 2011
