Water Fluoridation
Is the water we're drinking sedating us?
The history of fluoridation in the United States starts with Dr. McKay and Dr. G.V Black in 1901. These men dedicated a portion of their life to figure out why some people's teeth in certain parts of the country were so resistant to cavities. Some of these individuals had very browned teeth. The men even described cases where "teeth were splotched the color of chocolate candy (Citation for the summary given above.)" In theory, the more your teeth are discolored, the higher chance you have of getting a cavity; however, even with horribly discolored teeth, they found certain cities where cavities were low. When examining the water, the men caught a break through in their study when they found high levels of fluoride in the water. This was preventing cavities.
For the actual conspiracy theories now. The theory runs that our water contains high levels of sodium chloride (salt), various metals such as aluminum, and traces of fertilizer. This in turn will sedate American's into becoming zombies where they'll be controlled by the government to not rebel. This theory requires outside companies to buy into it. These brands would be Colgate, Crest, and other dental companies to pass research that claims fluoride is safe and healthy. This would promote no one to question the thought that fluoride was being used to sedate American's. (If you love listening to Alex Jones' ideas on things, here's his thoughts on fluoridation.)
Connecting this to our topic, "the Red Scare," it's important to note that this scare is the fear of an outsider forcing their beliefs onto the public and spreading propaganda to push their agenda. For this theory, we can view a "scare" from both the government and the public. For the government, the scariest thing to happen is a mutiny to overthrow the government. It's a loss of a job at the most basic level but also a plunge into certain chaos and anarchy at the highest level. For the public, the thought of being controlled by your government especially in a country like America where we fought a war to escape tyranny would scare everyone. In turn, this theory stands on fear or a "scare."
Stay tuned for the next post when we'll dive into the evidence to debunk this theory.

This theory has quite a history to it so before debunking this theory it is important to understand the background information first and how this theory has fermented into current society.
