The People Rule

Scientists have been villains in this story. Robert Kehoe and Harold Hodge buried important research and misled the general public. But scientists have been heroes, too. The pioneering work of Kaj Roholm and George Waldbott in unmasking fluoride’s potential for harm was a principled effort to explore fluoride’s role in our biology and biosphere. More recently we can see a similar heroic journey in that of Phyllis Mullenix. When her research revealed that fluoride in low doses has effects on the central nervous system, she was fired from her job as the head of the toxicology department at the Forsyth Dental Center in Boston, and her industry funding dried up.

Mullenix has since immersed herself in the medical literature about fluoride and has appeared as an expert witness in several trials in which fluoride was alleged to have injured workers. Although the number of men and women exposed to fluoride in the workplace is enormous—and as we have seen in the data from the Kettering dog study, those workers are likely to have fluoride-induced injuries—nevertheless, fifty years of assurances by the Public Health Service that fluoride in small amounts is good and safe for children make winning damage lawsuits an uphill and often thankless task.
