According to Paul Connett, PHD, Fluoridation is an Anglo American Agenda. Fluoridation is most prevalent in English speaking countries or countries heavily influenced by them. Only 11 countries in the world have more than 50% of their population drinking fluoridated water:
- Australia (80%),
- Brunei (95%);
- Chile (70%),
- Guyana (62%),
- Hong Kong (100%),
- The Irish Republic (73%),
- Israel (70%),
- Malaysia (75%),
- New Zealand (62%),
- Singapore (100%), and
- The United States (64%).
While 25 countries have water fluoridation programs, 11 of these countries have less than 20% of their population consuming fluoridated water: Argentina (19%), Guatemala (13%), Panama (15%), Papa New Guinea (6%), Peru (2%), Serbia (3%), Spain (11%), South Korea (6%), the United Kingdom (11%), and Vietnam (4%).
- Most developed nations do not fluoridate their water. In western Europe, for example, only 3% of the population consumes fluoridated water.
- In total, 377,655,000 million people worldwide drink artificially fluoridated water. This represents 5% of the world’s population.
There is no difference in tooth decay between western nations that fluoridate their water and those that do not.
Some countries have areas with high natural fluoride levels in the water. These include India, China and parts of Africa. In these countries measures are being taken to remove the fluoride because of the health problems that fluoride can cause.
