Dental fluorosis is an irreversible condition caused by excessive ingestion of fluoride during the tooth forming years. It is the first visible sign of overexposure to fluoride.
Fluorides are slightly more toxic than lead, and slightly less toxic than arsenic. - Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products
The California Code of Regulations, title 22 lists 791 chemicals as "Hazardous Waste." 39 of these are fluoride compounds. Two are used for drinking water fluoridation in Sacramento CA. #384 Hydrofluosilicic Acid (X,C) and #674 Sodium Fluoride (X)

The Case Against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There by Dr. Paul Connett PhD For anyone who has ever wondered why cities add fluoride to water-and questioned whether they should. Written with clear and easy-to-read prose, and supporting citations, The Case Against Fluoride carefully lays out the arguments against fluoridation and reasons why it should be discontinued. The authors examine the evidence on fluoridation and conclude convincingly that it should now be considered 'harmful and ineffective.' - Dr. Hardy Limeback, Professor and Head of Preventative Dentistry, University of Toronto
A "painstakingly researched exposé of fluoridation's overall ineffectiveness and toxicity... It remains to be seen whether the public-health community will give this landmark work due credit or continue to rubber stamp an outdated policy that, like bloodletting and trepanation, properly belongs on the scrap heap of sham medical interventions." - Review by BOOKLIST (American Library Association)
The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson Bryson marshals an impressive amount of research to demonstrate fluoride’s harmfulness, the ties between leading fluoride researchers and the corporations who funded and benefited from their research, and what he says is the duplicity with which fluoridation was sold to the people. The result is a compelling challenge to the reigning dental orthodoxy, which should provoke renewed scientific scrutiny and public debate.
“The Fluoride Deception reads like a whodunit. . . .We are left with compelling evidence that powerful interests with high financial stakes have colluded to prematurely close honest discussion and investigation into fluoride toxicity.” - Chemical & Engineering News
The Fluoride Deception - Interview With Christopher Bryson
In this 28 minute video, Christopher Bryson, an award-winning journalist and former producer at the BBC, discusses the findings of his new book The Flouride Deception.
The Devil's Poison: How Fluoride is Killing You! by Dean Murphy, DDS "Fluoride and fluoridation will go down as one of the greatest controversies of the 20th century. We are now exposed to increasing doses of fluoride from toothpaste, rinses, water, food, medicines, showering, bathing, and even the air that we breathe. Our environment has become a literal fluoride dumping ground. This book explores many chronic diseases that plague man today and looks at the scientists that connected these diseases to chronic exposures of fluoride." - Dean Murphy, DDS
Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation - DVD Featuring a Nobel Laureate in Medicine, three scientists from the National Research Council's landmark review on fluoride, as well as dentists, medical doctors, and leading researchers in the field, this professionally-produced 28-minute DVD presents a powerful indictment of the fluoridation program.

Fluoride Fatigue Fluoride poisoning: is fluoride in your drinking water—and from other sources—making you sick? by Bruce Spittle The 86 page PDF version is available free. The book notes how to test if fluoride is causing these symptoms and, if it is, how they may often be cured. This book describes undeniable medical ill effects from fluoride added to drinking water. ... those who deny reality and persist in discounting sensitivity to fluoride in drinking water are like ostriches with their heads in the sand. They would do well to heed what Dr Spittle has reported here and stop continuing to promote and be misled by scientifically indefensible claims that do not hold up under scrutiny." - Albert W. Burgstahler, PhD Professor Emeritus of Chemistry The University of Kansas. Editor, Fluoride.
