A new documentary airing Jan. 13 on CHD.TV exposes the long history of government and industry suppression of scientific research that reveals the toxic effects of fluoride, particularly on children.
“Many people, when they think of fluoride, they think of shining white teeth and white-coated dentists,” said attorney Michael Connett. “It’s like American apple pie. It’s just considered such an essential part of our living today in the modern world.”
Connett and Children’s Health Defense President Mary Holland are featured in the new documentary, “Fluoride on Trial: The Censored Science on Fluoride and Your Health.”
“What most people think of, when they think of fluoride, is ‘It’s good for your teeth,’” Holland said.
But according to Connett, this widespread understanding is a consequence “of the federal health authorities not being open and not being honest with the public about what they were finding on fluoride toxicity.”
Contrary to popular belief, Connett said, fluoride’s primary mechanism for preventing tooth decay is through topical contact with the outside of tooth enamel, not by ingesting it — a fact acknowledged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in deposition footage shown in the documentary.
Decades of scientific research show that ingested fluoride has toxic effects on the human body and perhaps most importantly, that fluoride has neurotoxic effects on children.
But the long history of government data suppression and censorship, combined with uninformed coverage by mainstream U.S. media, means that instead of having a science-based and reasoned debate, the public is presented with a caricature of the fluoride public health issue, according to Connett.
The media presents a false image of “settled science” supporting water fluoridation on one side and “crackpots who wear the tinfoil hats” who are concerned about fluoride on the other.
“It’s a disservice to the public. It’s a disservice to the trade of journalism. And frankly, it’s sad to see,” Connett said.
The documentary seeks to set the record straight.
Connett is the lead attorney in a lawsuit filed by Fluoride Action Network, Food & Water Watch and others against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), seeking an end to water fluoridation…
