The real truth is that fluoride is a killer which leads to a slow, painful process of dying. You might wonder what benefit might come out of poisoning an entire nation, for those accused of the deception. You might feel inclined to believe that there could possibly be no benefit, at least for a government to be involved in such a duplicitous plot. On the surface, you're right. It doesn't make sense....until you take into consideration that monetary greed or complete power over the masses have been the culprit of most heinous crimes throughout history. Governments are only as honorable as the men and women filling the roles within.

The fluoride story began 77 years ago. Interessen Gemeinschaft Farben (IG Farben), a German chemical manufacturing company, began borrowing from American banks in a concerted effort at building a huge cartel in 1924. Henry Ford and American Standard Oil Company merged their assets with IG Farben in 1928, and by the early 1930's, more than one hundred American corporations were involved with IG Farben through subsidiaries and other interests maintained in Germany.

American IG Farben was a holding company which controlled IG Farben assets in America. The board of directors listed such men as Edsel Ford (President of Ford Motor Company), Charles E. Mitchell (President of the Rockefellers' National City Bank of New York), Walter Teagle (President of Standard Oil, New York), and Paul Warberg (Chairman of the Federal Reserve) who was brother to Max Warberg. Max was the financier of the German War effort. Also on the board of directors was Herman Metz, a director of the Bank of Manhattan which was controlled by the Warbergs. Three other members on the board of directors for American IG Farben were convicted as German war criminals for their crimes against humanity.

In 1939, the world's largest producer of sodium fluoride was American Aluminum Company (ALCOA). During the same year, ALCOA and the Dow Chemical Company transferred their technology to Germany. Eventually, such companies as Colgate, Dupont, Procter & Gamble (Crest toothpaste) and Kellogg, as well as many other American companies, signed cartel agreements with IG Farben which led to the formation of a very powerful lobby group.

It was also in 1939 that the myth associated with fluoride and its ability to prevent dental caries was born. Up until then, fluoride was nothing more than toxic waste associated with the manufacture of explosives and fertilizers, in addition to being a waste component associated with the making of atomic bombs. Proper disposal of the toxic waste was expensive and becoming a problem for the American Aluminum Manufacturing, Fertilizer and Weapons industry. Not surprisingly, it was ALCOA scientist, Gerald J. Cox who, after doing some studies on fluoridated rats, concluded that fluoride was good for preventing cavities in human teeth.

Prior to Gerald J. Cox's determination, Trendley Dean, a Public Health Service scientist who was also the first director of the National Institute of Dental Research, had gone west to investigate a discovery that fluoride was causing tooth mottling. The person holding authority over the Public Health Service (PHS) was none other than Andrew Mellon who had founded and was the controlling shareholder of ALCOA. The mission Dean was sent on was to determine just how much fluoride could be absorbed by children's teeth before they disintegrated.

Dean examined the water of 345 Texas communities where naturally occurring fluoridation from soil might be an issue. His studies concluded that though the teeth were mottled and brown, the incidence of cavities seemed to be less than in those not exposed to fluoride. With very little to back up his theories, ALCOA founder Andrew Mellon jumped at the opportunity to solve the fluoride waste problem created by the aluminum industry and make a tidy profit at the same time, by selling the waste to the US Government as beneficial for water treatment.

During this time in 1939, the military program known as the Manhattan Project was embarked upon. The project was aimed at discovering and manufacturing fissionable materials for use in the Atomic Bomb. According to declassified Manhattan Project papers, fluoride was a key chemical in the production of atomic bombs. Millions of tons of fluoride were required for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium in bombs during the Cold War era.

As it is one of the most toxic chemicals known, it didn't take long for complaints of fluoride poisoning among those employed by defense contractors, to threaten the continuance of the project. The program's military leaders placed a demand on program scientists to provide evidence that fluoride was good for humans and the environment. This evidence could then be used in litigation prompted by accusations of poisoning.
