Another valuable resource is Christopher Bryson's new book, The Fluoride Deception (Seven Stories Press, 2004). We recommend this fine scientific book to readers who are intrigued by the puzzle of how a substance as toxic as fluoride ended up in our drinking water and toothpaste in the first place. The Fluoride Deception is a fascinating investigation of the politics of water fluoridation and the fraud that led to its use. (88)
