Introduction:

Fluoride is a natural mineral and a chemical, which is a compound of fluorine that is the most commonly used in water sources. However not only for that, it also has a various number of other uses in example: making molten metals flow, and burning materials etc. as it is an extremely reactive and highly toxic element, so when it comes to adding fluoride to public water, that's when mankind is faced with some extremely difficult decisions and some heated controversy occur about this.

Fluoridation can be also added to some foods, tooth pastes in small amounts, however its main role is in adding it to public water in terms of reducing dental decay, and it all began in the US in 1945 and has since been implemented in almost every major city.

It still remains as a practice, however if we think about this, all we expect from our water is to be clean and safe for drinking etc. and fluoride has nothing to do with that.

Fluoridation has been under scrutiny for the past 50 years and has come under severe criticism, as well as some positive comments from many people in the last decade.

Nearly half of our drinking water could have fluoride added to it under a 'secret' Government plan. The problem is that as the world's population continues to explode at an exponential rate, some scientists and the government make decisions of their own, sometimes behind closed doors from our knowledge about this.

On one hand they might care and try and help the population to keep as healthy, however on the other hand (as I will be mentioning later on), apparently fluoride has a dark side as well, and that’s when the problem strikes us, which is whether fluoride has been added to help us or is it just a good business and we have been mind controlled?

It is obvious, that fluoride is a chemical, which is not that necessary to be added...
