Process Paper
For our project we chose fluoride because of how controversial it was. Fluoride has been used for over 75 years, each year bringing more confusion. There are so many opinions on whether fluoride is harmful or helpful. We believe that fluoride is beneficial to everyday life. Our goal is to thoroughly educate the public on the truth about how fluoride can be beneficial through our National History Day Project.
We retrieved our information on fluoride through internet sources, interviews, videos, and the ADA ( American Dental Association). We researched fluoride's role in the atomic bomb, holocaust, and the New Jersey Pollution Incident. We also researched fluoride today and fluoride's uses today, the different opinions on fluoride, the fluoride debate, propaganda used in the debate, and why the public has formed their different opinions.
We then chose to present our information through the form of a website. We did this because we wanted our project to be as modern as the current world. We wanted to educate many people on fluoride, and the internet seemed to reach the widest audience.
The use of fluoride has changed significantly from a murderous weapon in the past, to a potential benefit to the public today. It's played a role in parts that could produce negative thinking, but these conclusions are wrong. Fluoride is safe at the current optimized level, as proved in the Grand Rapid Fluoridation Study.
The story of fluoride continues as many controversies unfold each day...
