I, for one, welcome our new fluoridating overlords.
I don’t know, but I’ll bet there wasn’t any serious flouridNAZIation going on prior to January, 2009.

I tried searching for any of the relevant terms in the book at Google Books and none of them turned up even a single hit.
This is the sort of claim that gives conspiracy theorists a bad name. Deservedly so, of course.
With a username like justhetruth and links to the usual sorts of fearmongering anti-fluoridation nutbar sites, I doubt our intrepid OP is seriously interested in being “enlightened”.
Here’s a recent extended discussion on water fluoridation which goes into why it’s a safe cost-effective means of reducing cavities and provides detailed citations from respected sources as opposed to drooling conspiracy theorists.
By the way, proponents of water fluoridation were not inspired by any Nazi experiments (if such actually took place). They noticed that communities with naturally high levels of fluoride in their water suffered far fewer cavities. Research established a minimum fluoride concentration that prevented cavities while being safe (i.e. not staining teeth).
Gotta wonder why dentists overwhelmingly support fluoridation, when they could make lots more money fixing cavities otherwise. What kind of conspiracy is it when you conspire to forego income?
Oh my god…Neuro-toxin. Jesus cry babies! My bad. sorry.
I believe if you look up Sodium Flouroide is it listed as a Toxin. Hell even mainstream Time magazine listed it as a NEUROTOXIN, if that’s your idea of credible journalism.
So why should you ingest a product like that over your entire life?
To the self righteous intellects, im sorry for the misspelled word. Since your so smart i am sure you didn’t have a problem figuring out what i meant.
It’s a matter of dose. Drinking too much water can kill you by disrupting your cells’ balance of various ions, and yet you risk drinking that daily. Every medication that you ever take can kill you (or make you wish you were dead) if you take too much.
BTW, sodium fluoride isn’t in that much use. The CDC did a census and (PDF warning) discovered that only 9% of communities in 1992 used it versus other fluoride-bearing chemicals: http://cdc.gov/fluoridation/pdf/statistics/1992.pdf
[Moderator Note]
You seem to be much more interested in debating this subject than just obtaining factual answers here. Also, if you are going to claim enough knowledge to debate it, it is incumbent on you to know how to spell words like neurotoxin. And snarking about “self-righteous intellects” when they point out you misspelled a word is out of place in this forum.
If you wish to start a debate about this subject, you may do so in the Great Debates forum. GQ isn’t the place for this.
