You may also want to check out the exclusive interview that we conducted with Christopher Bryson. "The Fluoride Deception" is much more than a book about the dangers of fluoride.

It reveals a multi-tiered effort -- or as Bryson says, an abuse of power -- by military and industry scientists and public health officials to shamelessly promote fluoride to the dentistry field and the American public with little regard to the implications it would have on human health.

The fluoride currently being dumped in 90 percent of drinking water in the U.S. is added in the form of hydrofluoric acid, a chemical byproduct of aluminum, steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. It is one of the most caustic of industrial chemicals.

Hydrofluoric acid is used to refine high octane gasoline, to make fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons for freezers and air conditioners, and to manufacture computer screens, fluorescent light bulbs, semiconductors, plastics, herbicides ... and toothpaste.

It also has the ability to burn flesh to the bone, destroy eyes, and sear lungs so that victims drown in their own body fluid. Once in the body, fluoride destroys human enzymes by changing their shape.

So what can you do?

You can start by filtering your tap water with a reverse osmosis filter. And that includes for purposes such as washing vegetables, making ice cubes, and cooking. Heat does not destroy fluoride.
