• (1950 Sugar industry joins efforts to impose fluoridation. US supplying fluoride to
Soviets, who are using it keep prisoners subservient)
• "Some of the basic and necessary metabolic processes in the cell are stopped by
concentrations of fluorides such as are found in acute poisoning. These changes are
