Aqua there is no conspiracy theory about big chemical & fertilizer Industry companies selling govts and local govts contaminated toxic waste products to put into public water supplies in the guise of dental health initiative to reduce dental caries.

It's is a fact. 

The oral ingestion of fluoridated water does nothing to prevent tooth decay.

The only way fluoride is affective is when it is topically applied by a dentist with a pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride liquid.

Which they get you to spit out and rinse and not swallow it.

The conspiracy is with the pro-fluoride lobby who are on the receiving end of backhanders that allow these companies to use public water supplies and through human beings then city sewage treatment work to dump their toxic waste ...... which they are not allowed to dump into the environment via other methods.

Fluoridation & it's purported benefits is one of the biggest scientific frauds the globe has seen.

It's mass public medication by unqualified people(Councils & their workers) without consent.

The shyte they dump into public water supplies comes from the Aluminium & Fertilizer Industries(mostly from China) which is  Hexafluorosilicic acid.

It's used in water fluoridation,   hardening cement and ceramics, as a wood preservative.

It is also contaminated with, lead, zinc, arsenic, cadmium and mercury.

You want to take fluoride ... go ahead you can buy tablets ... at least they are a pure pharmaceutical grade.

It should never be in public water supplies.

Anyone who has complained about covid vaccination mandates and drinks town/city water that is fluoridated is a complete hypocritical idiot.

Rant over.

"Beginning in the early 20th century, scientists linked high levels of naturally occurring fluoride in certain community water supplies to low levels of tooth decay. In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first community in the world to add fluoride to tap water. When subsequent studies showed a significantly lower rate of cavities in schoolchildren, water fluoridation spread to other towns and cities. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention named community water fluoridation one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.

But many experts now question the scientific basis for the intervention. In June 2015, the Cochrane Collaboration—a global independent network of researchers and health care professionals known for rigorous scientific reviews of public health policies—published an analysis of 20 key studies on water fluoridation. They found that while water fluoridation is effective at reducing tooth decay among children, “no studies that aimed to determine the effectiveness of water fluoridation for preventing caries [cavities] in adults met the review’s inclusion criteria.” *

The Cochrane report also concluded that early scientific investigations on water fluoridation (most were conducted before 1975) were deeply flawed. “We had concerns about the methods used, or the reporting of the results, in … 97 percent of the studies,” the authors noted. One problem: The early studies didn’t take into account the subsequent widespread use of fluoride-containing toothpastes and other dental fluoride supplements, which also prevent cavities. This may explain why countries that do not fluoridate their water have also seen big drops in cavity rates (see chart)."

interesting,  worthy of further research

i know margarine was originally going to be used as a heavy industry lubricant until they discovered they could bad mouth butter and sell it to humans (so your case is not without prescedent)

i also note the corrupt american food authority recommends kelloggs frosty flakes as a better breakfast option to kids over eggs

so there are flagrant lies told to the public re what goes in their mouth

but i feel the public are generally complicit

they want to be told big macs are healthy and tuna may have mercury in it

Sodium fluoride is more toxic than lead ..

do you even research ?

Conspiracy theories usually arise from a lack of information by the Government or it's agencies....Or batshit crazy nutters who make up complete bullshit about every major event....Footage of the Pentagon on 9/11 was withheld from the public, Why....People then provide answers to the why with all sorts of conspiracy theories....I do not know why but I know something is not right with some things....Those who claim to have the answer usually blame their enemies without evidence???

Extract from a timely article on this very issue:

"Understanding what drives people into conspiracist thinking has inspired a number of scientific investigations. There’s one feature of the human brain that appears to bear quite a lot of the responsibility – the problem is, it’s also something we couldn’t manage without.

The brain is primed to look for patterns. As humans have evolved, this has proven extremely useful. It’s handy, for example, to learn that the color red often equals “danger”. It's less handy to take the leap from, "Hmm, we appeared to have misplaced some ships," to, "It must be an eldritch triangle of ocean gobbling up vessels like there's no tomorrow!"

“Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the outside world. One way the brain accomplishes this goal is by detecting and learning patterns, which are essentially statistical regularities in the environment, because these patterns help the brain decide how to react or behave in order to survive,” Dr Jess Taubert, an associate professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, previously told IFLScience.

The issues start to arise when this pattern-recognizing power goes into overdrive, joining dots in random data and adding two and two to make five. This concept is called illusory perception.

A 2017 study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology explored this further. The scientists took groups of up to 401 people through five experiments designed to test the relationship between conspiracist thinking and illusory pattern perception.

One thing that came out of the study was a link between belief in some common conspiracies – including ones around climate change, the moon landing, and the assassination of JFK –  and seeing a pattern in a series of random coin tosses. Those inclined towards a more conspiratorial way of thinking were also more likely to find patterns in chaotic artwork, like Jackson Pollock’s splatter paintings.

The researchers also explored a common observation in conspiracy spaces, that belief in one irrational theory is often indicative of belief in other, unrelated theories. If you can accept the idea that Barack Obama is a lizard in a human suit, it’s really just a short hop and a skip to believing that the US government had advance notice of 9/11.

“[A]cceptance of a conspiracy theory implies an increase in the extent to which people perceive patterns in world events, as reflected in the belief that instead of being a coincidence, many events that happen in the world are somehow causally related,” the authors posited.

To test this, they asked participants to read either a pro-conspiracy or anti-conspiracy article, before asking questions to assess their perception of a pattern in world events, finding that a correlation was present in those who’d been exposed to the conspiracy theory.

To summarize the findings of the study, the authors wrote, “We conclude that illusory pattern perception is a central cognitive ingredient of beliefs in conspiracy theories and supernatural phenomena.”

In the wake of conspiracy theories around the COVID-19 pandemic, this research became all the more timely, and subsequent studies have built on the ideas explored here.

One from the height of the pandemic in 2020 supported the importance of illusory perception and also touched on the idea of confirmation bias.

“[Conspiracy theory] believers may find it hard to believe that a virus could originate randomly from the natural world because it does not fit with their preconceived view that events have a reason and usually a human or government influence behind it,” the authors explained.

The role of personality

Another key factor that has come to the fore in psychology studies of conspiracy beliefs is the role of personality.

Narcissism – the belief in one’s own superiority over others – has been found to be among the best psychological indicators of a predisposition toward believing in conspiracies. A 2022 study outlined three features of narcissistic personalities that seem to underpin this: agentic extraversion (which covers traits like assertiveness, self-confidence, and reward-seeking); antagonism; and neuroticism.

In a nutshell, narcissistic people will more readily believe that others are “out to get them”, meaning that conspiracies about sinister government plots or shady cabals controlling the media narrative fit right into their way of thinking.

Narcissists are also driven by a need to feel unique and special, something that research has also identified as a predictor of conspiratorial thinking.

Others may be drawn to conspiracies out of a desire to “watch the world burn” – basically, some people simply thrive on chaos.

Still, more research has suggested a link between increased anger and belief in conspiracies, though it was not possible to say whether anger was a cause or consequence of believing irrational things.

And some people may be initially drawn to conspiracies because they find them fun. I mean, there’s no denying that there’s a certain amount of entertainment to be derived from discussing the most outlandish of beliefs about our world, whether or not you actually see truth in them.
