With the narrative punch of Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action and the commitment to environmental truth-telling of Erin Brockovich, The Fluoride Deception documents a powerful connection between big corporations, the U.S. military, and the historic reassurances of fluoride safety provided by the nation’s public health establishment. The Fluoride Deception reads like a thriller, but one supported by two hundred pages of source notes, years of investigative reporting, scores of scientist interviews, and archival research in places such as the newly opened files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. The book is nothing less than an exhumation of one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era: how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Whether you are for or against, or even neutral on water fluoridation, you owe it to yourself to read The Fluoride Deception. By chapter 3 you’ll find the arguments against water fluoridation compelling. The book is well written, and reads like a very good fiction novel." —The Water Exchange

"[Bryson's] research and consummate writing skill bring to light the shocking story of more than six decades of fluoride cover-up and deception. ... [He] presents its case in such a brilliant way and with such literary skill that it stands a good chance of becoming a cause célèbre for the general public to protest and demand action." —Washington Free Press

"This shocking anthology of incriminating stories and scientific discoveries is a must read for every consumer who owns a toothbrush." —E Magazine

"It is my sincere hope that Christopher Bryson's apparently thorough and comprehensive perusal of the scientific literature on the biological actions of fluoride and the ensuing debates through the years will receive the attention it deserves and that its implications will be seriously considered." —Arvid Carlsson, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Medicine

Very surprising content, and reads like a novel

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019

I can't figure out why this book has not made more of a stir. It lays out a really strong case that fluoride is NOT a nutrient and shouldn't be anywhere near our food or water. It also lays out a description of corruption in high places that led to the fluoridation of water, complete with a description of the intense PR campaign that was waged in the last century to turn the tide of public opinion about fluoride. Whereas fluoride used to be known as a very dangerous pollutant, in the middle of the 20th century it suddenly became known as a healthy tooth vitamin. The thing is, fluoride became very useful to industry and defense projects, and tons of it were/are being released into the environment at the expense of injury to many people & natural places, and hence was born the corruption.
I myself have the mottled teeth that result from excess fluoridation, and after reading this book, I realize that the whole constellation of health issues I have had (asthma, arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, bony joint growths) also happen to be the most common health effects of lower-level fluoride exposure. A couple of things I've often puzzled about before : the early age at which girls reach puberty these days, and the epidemic of thyroid dysfunction esp. among women (thyroid medication is the most widely prescribed medication today). This book says that low-level fluoride exposure does lower the age of girls reaching puberty, and that thyroid dysfunction is a hallmark result of too much fluoride exposure. So maybe therein lies the answer to these puzzles. It also causes neurological effects - and we certainly have plenty of neurological epidemics going on in this country as well! But this is me jumping to conclusions. The book does no such thing. It is reasoned, and simply lays out facts - albeit fascinating ones that pretty much no one knows. Somehow the whole history and real story of fluoride has been wiped from the American consciousness, and this book aims to change that. And a fascinating story it is. Really a page-turner.

I never dreamed that I would LOVE a book about fluoride!

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016

I never dreamed that one of the best books I would ever read would be about fluoride. It has been more than eye opening to what is truly going on in communities all over the US. I have heard for years that money talks, but after reading this book there is the realization that decency has become deafened by greed. I am saddened to be an American. What our government and industry is doing to the population is unconscionable, putting a toxic Co-product of the phosphate industry in our water supply so our bodies and environment are the filter for their waste product. The book is entertaining and informative and well worth your time. For me it has been a gateway to investigations of other crimes that have been perpetuated on us all in the name of profit. (Anyone that loves children please check out the movie "Vaxxed") Thankfully there are still some among us that seek truth and are willing to share it with others. Christopher Bryson should be commended for his 10 years of arduous work to bring this book to fruition. Hopefully water fluoridation will finally be recognized as dangerous, as was DDT, lead in our paint and gasoline, asbestos, cigarettes and having our feet x-rayed for fun. After all the same laboratories and institutions that so ardently promote water fluoridation assured us that all of these were completely safe. God bless us all in our efforts to rectify a practice that is hazardous to our health and our environment.

This book reads like a spy thriller, it is a very compelling book, with a lot of evidence showing how the real reason for water fluoridation has absolutely nothing to d with reducing dental cavities.

Fluoridated Water: Healthy Teeth or Criminal Fraud?

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2005

Verified Purchase

"The Fluoride Deception" is a scathing indictment of how the U.S. medical community, big corporations, and the federal government, misled the American public for decades about the dangers of fluoride. Filled with scientific studies and historical documents, all fully annotated, Bryson mounts a point by point attack on the flimsy, fallacious arguments of pro-fluoride advocates. He shows us the secret history of fluoride, how it was connected to the development of the atomic bomb, and the self-serving and sly actions of those corporations, mainly metal manufacturers, in deceiving the public into believing that fluoride was safe to add to our water supplies. Using public opinion techniques developed by spin doctors like Edward Bernays, these companies used every technique known in modern propaganda science to convince Americans and the world that fluoride was just another natural and harmless chemical, when the opposite was true and they knew it.

In a race to develop atom bombs to counteract a perceived threat from its former ally, the Soviet Union, the United States broadened its nuclear development program through an unprecedented collusion between government and industry. In his farewell address to the nation in 1961, president Eisenhower warned that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military-Industrial Complex."

This complicity is seen clearly in the history of fluoride and the public relations exercise carried out by government and industry that fooled America into thinking this deadly chemical was good for a our teeth. As it turns out, fluoride, and its industrial counterpart fluorine gas, described by some as a "violent monster," is one of the most toxic chemicals on the planet inducing skeletal fluorosis, arthritis, thyroid problems, bone cancer, and hyperactivity in animals.

As Bryson explains, fluoride is a necessary ingredient in nuclear bomb production, as essential as uranium. In the 1940's, the U.S. government and corporate America were faced with a flurry of worker and citizen lawsuits about fluoride poisoning. Industry-sponsored research and clever spin control transformed the nation's perception of fluoride from a toxic chemical pollutant into a medical supplement dispensed in water.
Bryson documents how various industries funded studies that showed the dangers of fluoride to workers in metal fabricating plants, and nuclear bomb production-factories. The most damaging studies were kept hidden from public sight until recently.

Fluoride, ubiquitous in so many household products, turns out to be one of the most deadly known chemicals and has no safe place in our food supply. That the U.S. medical establishment supports adding it to our water only attests to the gigantic and criminal fraud that has been perpetrated upon the U.S. and a few other countries that advocate fluoridation. Bryson's book is one of the best I have ever read on any subject. Read it if you want to know the disturbing truth about the secret agendas of those who make public policy in America.

(Dr. Simeon Hein is the author of "Opening Minds: A Journey of Extraorindary Encounters, Crop Circles, and Resonance" and the forthcoming "Planetary Intelligence.")

There are so many things that fluoride is in, you likely won't believe it at first. This book is full the hidden research and lawsuits over the dangers of fluoride. If you still think it is safe for human consumption, think again.

Great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2018

If all the evidence printed here is true which I believe it to be, then adding fluoride to water should be stopped immediately. Though their appears some benefit to preventing tooth decay when using fluoride their also appears as much evidence for better oral hygiene to be at least as good if not better than adding a proven toxin to our diet. As I am a bit of a ‘conspiracy theorist’ it would appear that the people in control of this world may have an agenda which is not beneficial to the general population but ensures that people are made ill so that vested interests can make ever increasing profits from treatments and other spin offs related to health. The more I read books such as this one I am more convinced that the ‘New World Order’ and it’s drive for the eventual total ‘Globalisation’ of this beautiful planet that we live on will not be of benefit to the hoy palloy but benefit those nebulous individuals who believe that they know best and in some twisted way may even think that we will benefit from their tinkering.

Profoundly eye opening and a bit scary book on the history of fluoride in USA. Even if you are not interested in fluoride you should read it as it shows that just because everyone say something is good/bad it may not be true, how whistleblowers are often discredited and their careers destroyed, what horrible things people can do for money. Highly recommend it!

I'm against fluoride in the water and wanted to do some research on it. This book by Christopher Bryson certainly blows the lid off the deceptions being done by big industry and governments. Although mainly centered on the USA it does cover some of the UK deceptions. Well worth a read if you want to know why people are getting ill these days with certain illnesses.
