HOW THE MASSES WERE MANIPULATED ☭ TO ACCEPT FLUORIDE POISONING
The increasing industrialization of the late 19th and 20th centuries saw an explosion in aluminum use. Aluminum is a ubiquitous substance in industrialized societies. It is everywhere, from electrical wiring to food and beverage cans to cookware to automobiles to airplanes. As the Industrial Revolution was hitting its stride in the early 20th century, aluminum refiners had a major problem with the fluorides attending aluminum production: they are deadly poisons. Fluorine once safely bound with aluminum, copper, and iron in Earth’s crust was reintroduced into the environment in its ionic state. Fluorides were not only being buried in the ground and put into the water, they were also being released into the air by industrial processes. Fluoride pollution was a major industrial problem.
Because it holds its electrons more tightly than any other element, fluorine forms the smallest negatively charged ion of any element, and that small size allows fluorine ions to go where larger ions of other elements cannot. Also, when introduced to the stomach, more than a third of ingested fluoride is converted to hydrofluoric acid, which is highly toxic.[2] In the early 21st century, it became increasingly evident that even at low doses, such as around the level that artificial fluoridation provides, the fluorine ion damages cellular structures and mechanisms, from respiration to metabolism to gene expression to enzyme functioning.[3] Perhaps most importantly, sufficient cellular damage initiates programmed cell death, known as apoptosis.
