Alcoa Foils Accountability The name of the company with the biggest stake in fluoride was Alcoa -whose name is stamped all over the early history of water fluoridation. By 1938, the aluminum industry (which then consisted solely of Alcoa) was placed on a wartime schedule. During World War II industry's fluoride pollution increased sharply because of stepped-up production of Alcoa aluminum for fighters and bombers. Fluoride was the aluminum industry's most devastating pollutant. So they opted to put it in toothpaste with the blessing of the ADA. So problem solved- you can get rid of your waste and poison an entire population a win win for them.

Fluoride toothpaste is banned in Japan. I would consider this evidence in support of OP, as the nips are smart little fuckers, but they also have really really fucked up nasty teeth.
Source: lived in Japan for two years. Nip celebs and famous people have a lot of dental work done. the average person on the streets has really awful teeth.

In Canada many citizens have tried fighting the forced medication of floricidic acid being added to our water. At a federal level they will not address this issue as a human rights issue... I for one believe this toxic waste from industry is very expensive to dispose of, so they have partnered up with crooked politicians to put it in our drinking water.

The late, great Murray Rothbard (((one of the good ones IMO))) had a great article on fluoride.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/04/murray-n-rothbard/fluoridation-is-dangerous/
I'd think there's been more scientific research on the effects since then (maybe not, it seems even back then some links to cancer and other problems were deliberately suppressed) but he had some other interesting observations.
During the 1940s and 50s, when the successful push for fluoridation was underway, the pro-forces touted the controlled experiment of Newburgh and Kingston, two neighboring small cities in upstate New York, with much the same demographics. Newburgh had been fluoridated and Kingston had not, and the powerful pro-fluoridation Establishment trumpeted the fact that ten years later, dental cavities in kids 5 to 9 in Newburgh were considerably lower than in Kingston (originally, the rates of every disease had been about the same in the two places). OK, but the antis raising the disquieting fact that, after ten years, both the cancer and the heart disease rates were now significantly higher in Newburgh. How did the Establishment treat this criticism? By dismissing it as irrelevant, as kooky scare tactics. Oh?
This also makes a lot of sense. If fluoride is needed, then how can we control the dose when different people might need different amounts and drink different amounts of water?
It is starkly clear that one key to any medication is control of the dose; different people, at different stages of risk, need individual dosages tailored to their needs. And yet with water compulsorily fluoridated, the dose applies to everyone, and is necessarily proportionate to the amount of water one drinks.
What is the medical justification for a guy who drinks ten glasses of water a day receiving ten times the fluorine dose of a guy who drinks only one glass?
Pointing out the obvious corporatism in the fluoride push.
The following year, 1939, Cox, the ALCOA scientist working for a company beset by fluoride damage claims, made the first public proposal for mandatory fluoridation of water. Cox proceeded to stump the country urging fluoridation. Meanwhile, other ALCOA-funded scientists trumpeted the alleged safety of fluorides, in particular the Kettering Laboratory of the University of Cincinnati.
During World War II, damage claims for fluoride emissions piled up as expected, in proportion to the great expansion of aluminum production during the war. But attention from these claims was diverted, when, just before the end of the war, the PHS began to push hard for compulsory fluoridation of water. Thus the drive for compulsory fluoridation of water accomplished two goals in one shot: it transformed the image of fluorine from a curse to a blessing that will strengthen every kid’s teeth, and it provided a steady and substantial monetary demand for fluorides to dump annually into the nation’s water.

OP is clearly drinking the water?
