The fluoride fights are a decades-old cultural war America can't quit [View all]
Folks reported strange things in a New York town in 1945, right after the government announced an experiment adding tiny amounts of fluoride to the municipal drinking water.
“Dozens of Newburgh residents called the water department to complain that the water was discoloring their saucepans, hurting the flavor of carbonated beverages and causing digestive upsets,” the Washington Evening Star reported on Feb. 22, 1951.
One Newburgh resident demanded restitution from the city, claiming her false teeth dissolved overnight in a glass of tap water.
The same thing happened in North Carolina, where residents of Charlotte flooded the city water department with complaints of illness not long after the water fluoridation program was announced there in 1949.
All of these complaints? They came before the fluoride had actually been added to the water.
