Fluoride Research Paper

Would you drink water that contained cancer-causing chemicals? Would you let someone medicate you without your consent? Would you ingest something that was fed to concentration camp victims? No matter what the answer to those questions was, it is most likely happening anyways. The fluoride added to the United States water systems is extremely detrimental to human health. It is also a complete violation of human rights and consent. And because of its history and biological effects, it may be used in order to keep citizens easy to manipulate. Adding fluoride to water systems should be illegal as the government can employ it to control our minds.
It would be illegal for the common person to slip pills or medicines into someone’s food or

drinks without their knowledge, even if they were supposedly helpful. But why then is the government able to do it to us every day? Fluoridating water is medication without consent, and is a violation of civil rights. Fluoride is the only chemical added to water that is meant to alter the consumer and not the actual water itself. Fluoride is also a drug, not a nutrient, and is therefore a form of medication. Medication without consent is illegal, as it deprives people of their own free will. Fluoride supplements added to water have never been approved from the FDA and are delivered from people with little to no medical qualifications. This leads to uncontrolled doses of the chemical with no systematic overview of a medical professional. Many argue that this should be allowed even without knowledge or consent of the consumers as it could possibly be helpful to them, comparing the practice to adding vitamin D to milk. However, fluoride is not an essential nutrient, such as vitamin D. It is a drug, and its risks heavily outweigh its helpful qualities.
The Fluoride Action Network offers further description on how the addition of fluoride to water systems explicitly breaks codes of basic civil rights. “As explained by the American Medical Association, the doctor must inform the patient of the medicine’s benefits, side effects, and alternatives and then allow the patient to decide whether to take the medicine or not.” As even the American Medical Association deems this practice unethical, no reason exists for the American government to continue condoning, much less supporting, it. If individuals are not allowed to treat someone medically without their knowledge, then no reason exists for why the government should be able to either. Medicating an entire country's main source of water with a known poison is not only suspicious of alternate government intentions, but is an altogether a violation of civil rights.
