Isn't Dr. Stravelove a great movie? I just watched that last night. I like the reference to fluoride in Mel Gibson's Conspiracy Theory, too.

This book reviews the science and salesmanship involved in the fluoride debate, as there is no clear valid evidence of significant benefits from added fluoride consumption, while there are many independent studies showing a variety of potential negative mental & physical effects. This evidence has been available previously in some other texts and online information collections, and is beyond rational refutation. There are, of course, some really insecure people who just can't accept or admit that the government, medical, & dental authorities are spreading lies and contaminating the public water supplies. One reviewer claims that people who denounce fluoridation are opportunists seeking economic profit and getting paid thousands of dollars per event for speaking against fluoridation. To deny one conspiracy, this reviewer has invented his own conspiracy, based on no evidence. If speaking publicly against fluoride were financially lucrative, where are all the wealthy fluoride opponents and anti-fluoride ads? Of course, all the damning evidence about fluoride is in professional journals and government documents for anyone to see. Then again, maybe consuming so much fluoride made that person dumb enough to think fluoride is good and anyone against fluoride isn't - after all, fluoridation has been correlated with diminished IQs.

in any scientific arguement, the only thing that matters is the available evidence and that is clearly lacking at the CDC. It's been said that when the data doesn't support your arguement you don't have enough data. The gov't is renowned by flubbing its own studies, sponsoring stupid programs with no basis in fact, and draining the taxpayer just to create a jobs program. Enough!! Even WITHOUT all the nobel-leareates against it, I cannot condone the adding of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fluoride, or green tea to public water at taxpayer expense. I can take care of my own teeth, thank you very much.
