Is this a joke? Here's a stunning expose: Sodium, the unstable, highly explosive substance used as a coolant in many nuclear reactors, is pushed everywhere! Why, it's almost impossible to walk into a kitchen in America without seeing a sodium dispenser right there on the table!
Right in their lead paragraphs, these people obviously haven't distinguished between fluorides (the class of compounds containing fluoride ions) with elemental fluorine, the highly reactive poison. Tends to hurt the credibility of any subsequent revelations.

>Some 50 years after United States authorities began adding fluoride to
public water supplies to reduce cavities in children's teeth, recently
discovered declassified government documents are shedding new light on
the roots of that still-controversial public health measure, revealing a
surprising connection between the use of fluoride and the dawning of the
nuclear age.
>
>Today, two-thirds of US public drinking water is fluoridated. Many
municipalities still resist the practice, disbelieving the government's
assurances of safety.
>
>Since the days of World War II when the US prevailed by building the
world's first atomic bomb, the nation's public health leaders have
maintained that low doses of fluoride are safe for people and good for
children's teeth.
>
>That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of hundreds
of once-secret WWII-era documents obtained by these reporters [authors
Griffiths and Bryson], including declassified papers of the Manhattan
Project-the ultra-secret US military program that produced the atomic
bomb.
>
>Fluoride was the key chemical in atomic bomb production, according to
the documents. Massive quantities-millions of tons-were essential for
the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons
throughout the Cold War. One of the most toxic chemicals known, fluoride
emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the US atomic bomb
program, both for workers and for nearby communities, the documents
reveal.
>
>Other revelations include:
>€ Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low
doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists who had been secretly
ordered to provide "evidence useful in litigation" against defence
contractors for fluoride injury to citizens. The first lawsuits against
the American A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride
damage, the documents show.
>€ Human studies were required. Bomb program researchers played a
leading role in the design and implementation of the most extensive US
study of the health effects of fluoridating public drinking water,
conducted in Newburgh, New York, from 1945 to 1955. Then, in a
classified operation code-named "Program F", they secretly gathered and
analysed blood and tissue samples from Newburgh citizens with the
cooperation of New York State Health Department personnel.
>€ The original, secret version (obtained by these reporters) of a
study published by Program F scientists in the August 1948 Journal of
the American Dental Association1 shows that evidence of adverse health
effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic Energy Commission
(AEC)-considered the most powerful of Cold War agencies-for reasons of
"national security".
>€ The bomb program's fluoride safety studies were conducted at the
University of Rochester-site of one of the most notorious human
radiation experiments of the Cold War, in which unsuspecting hospital
patients were injected with toxic doses of radioactive plutonium. The
fluoride studies were conducted with the same ethical mindset, in which
"national security" was paramount.
