How Fluoride Ended up In Our Drinking Water

How Did Fluoride End Up in Our Water?
The presence of fluoride in municipal water supplies is not a natural occurrence but rather the result of industrial influence.
We’ve seen this before.
Fluoride, a byproduct of aluminum and phosphate fertilizer production, was historically an environmental waste product. Instead of incurring disposal costs, industries found a profitable alternative—selling fluoride compounds to municipalities under the premise of public health benefits.
However, fluoride is not an essential nutrient, and its use in water fluoridation has been increasingly questioned due to emerging evidence of its neurotoxic effects.
Notably, fluoride compounds, such as sodium fluoride, were previously used in pesticides and rodenticides, raising concerns about their long-term impact on human health.
How to Reduce Fluoride Exposure
✔ Use a reverse osmosis or fluoride-removing filtration system.
✔ Check fluoride levels in your local water supply.
✔ Minimize exposure from non-water sources, such as toothpaste, processed beverages, and certain medications.
