Edward Bernays, Sigmund Freud's nephew, was hired to promote water fluoridation to Americans, using crowd psychology techniques he pioneered. Bernays believed individuals are controlled by self-preservation, aggression, security, and sex, and appealing to these motives could manipulate populations. He convinced women to smoke by framing it as empowering.
Fluoride, used as rat poison, faced opposition from dentists censored by the American Dental Association. The film claims fluoride is a deadly poison added to water to treat individuals, not the water itself, calling it a fraud and hoax.
While most of the world does not fluoridate water, the US does. Countries like China and Japan have banned fluoride, deeming it ineffective and toxic. The film claims the CDC and Washington DC have only had success in English-speaking countries in disposing of hazardous waste.
The "fluoride" added to water is allegedly hydrofluosilicic acid, a man-made molecule that eats through concrete and other materials. It's claimed to be a hazardous waste byproduct from phosphate fertilizer production, containing radioactive and cancer-causing chemicals. The film alleges that fluoridation is a means for industries to eliminate toxic waste, with 250,000 tons dumped annually into the water supply.
