Water Fluoridation

The water fluoridation controversy is about the public concern of the fluoridation of public water supplies. Although health authorities claim that water fluoridation at certain measurements can help to prevent dental decay and promote sanitation, not everyone is happy with the idea.

Some choose to believe that water fluoridation is just a cover-up for the government to taint the water supply in the form of fluoride in order to run tests on the public. This was a major issue back in the 1950s and people believed that substances were being added to the water for mind control purposes by the Soviets. Today, although some are just focused on the health concerns, others believe that there’s more to worry about than that.
