This past September, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) unveiled a new study published in the journal Environmental Health written by our very own Science Director, Chris Neurath. The article uncovers internal industry documents revealing the distorted science and marketing campaigns paid for by the sugar and allied food industries to convince the public and government institutions that everyone could consume unlimited sugary foods and beverages without fear of tooth deca
Delegates of Alberta, Canada's United Conservative Party (UCP), which holds the majority of seats in the Alberta legislature (63 of 87 seats) and is the party of the head of government, Premier Danielle Smith, voted overwhelmingly this week in support of a resolution calling for a ban on water fluoridation for the province with over 5 million residents.
More than 4,000 UCP members were present for the vote, and witnesses in attendance approximated that upwards of 90% rais
Dear Friends,

The staff and volunteers at FAN work tirelessly throughout the year to give each and every person around the world the gift of cleaner and safer water, untainted by fluoridation che
An Unprecedented Year of Success For Our Movement
2025 marks the Fluoride Action Network’s 25th anniversary protecting citizens from overexposure to fluoride and working to end water fluoridation, and we’re happy to announce that two decades of steady progress and support from all of you has resulted in an unprecedented year of success for our entire movement. That's saying a lot, since together we have accomplished so much over years to reach this point (see FAN's Accomplishments).
A new book has been written and published by close friends of the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) that I'm excited to share with all of you. I consider it a "must read" for anyone who has ever consumed water or come in contact with fluoride...which I assume is everyone. This is the perfect stocking stuffer for your loved ones this holiday season, or a gift for that person--or city councilor--in your life who can't seem to find the time to educate themselves about fluoride. The format of the book
At the virtual press conference posted below, Professors Paul Connett, PhD and Vyvyan Howard, MB. ChB. PhD. FRCPath, along with Ellen Connett and former BBC journalist Michele Paduano, reveal the details of the BBC’s unprofessional efforts to withhold important information about the new science on the potential dangers posed by community water fluoridation. Fluoridation is the flawed and outdated practice of adding a fluoridated chemical to the public drinking water, ostensibly to lower tooth
• 26% higher risk of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women• Risks found even at exposure levels from artificial fluoridation
A new systematic review identified 27 studies of fluoride and bone fractures and found significantly increased risk of fractures in pooled analyses, especially in postmenopausal women. This demographic has the highest risk of hip fractures, which are a major cause of permanent disability and death in older women. Following a hip fracture, 30

Hidden conflicts in German review that dismisses fluoridation's harm to child IQ
The sugar industry has been suspected of pushing fluoridation so people could "have their cake and eat it too". You could eat sugary foods and drinks without worrying about tooth decay because fluoridation would be the "magic bullet" that p

European Food Safety Authority Says 1.5 Milligrams of Fluoride Per Liter Limit is Not Protective
By including fluoride exposure from food and dental products, The European Union’s (EU) agency that analyzes risks associated with the food chain has concluded in a recent report that the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum level of fluoride in drinking water, 1.5 milligrams (mg) per liter, does not protect all people from its toxic

Hu and Birnbaum Make Powerful Public Health Statement on Fluoride
Two of the leading experts on the health effects of exposure to fluoride--including the former director of the National Toxicology Program (NTP)--have called on their colleagues in the public health profession to form a consensus to protect mothers and infants from fluoride.
In a commentary published in the July issue of the American Journal of Public Health, Prof. Howard Hu
