Critics of fluoride's presence in drinking water often point to its origins. The idea that fluoride is a by-product of aluminum manufacturing raises questions about its introduction into public health systems. This notion suggests that fluoride was pushed into public water supplies not necessarily for the broad benefit of citizens, but more out of a need to dispose of a waste product.
There are accounts of historical documentation where fluoride was used as a strategic tool in warfare, intended to pacify adversaries by compromising their mental states. These claims fuel arguments that adding fluoride to drinking water may not be as innocuous as public health advocates portray.
