Fluoride and its compounds have been used industrially for hundreds of years.
Unfortunately what factories discovered in the late 1800s was that fluoride poisoning was killing and injuring the majority of its workers. Instead of discontinuing its use (and losing money and business), they sought to find a way by which to move the focus away from fluoride's harmful effects.
The discovery of fluoride's potential link to decreased cavity rates was promoted. Studies of this link were organized and funded by the corporations who used the most fluoride in their industrial applications. These studies (of course) showed that fluoride is harmless and even healthy. There was a hostile response to studies that showed fluoride is a neurotoxin (now its official classification) and harmful. Grants were discontinued, research was dropped, and the scientists who had been researching the harmful effects of fluoride were ostracized and blacklisted.
"It's a toxic waste product of many types of industry; for instance, glass production, phosphate fertilizer production, and many others. They would have no way to dispose of the tons of fluoride waste they produce unless they could find some use for it, so they made up this story about it being good for dental health. Then they can pass it through everyone's bodies and into the sewer. It is a well coordinated effort, to keep it from being declared for what it is--toxic waste" - Dr. John R. Lee, MD, chairman of the Environmental Health Committee, Marin County.
