Newly released emails show California’s State Dental Director, Dr. Jayanth Kumar, attempting to downplay data which indicates fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQ in children.
Americans are currently locked in an information war. The methods of this infowar are known as 5th Generation Warfare, and two of the most consequential battlefields are the internet and social media.
In this infowar Americans struggle on a daily basis to make sense of the constantly conflicting narratives streaming from various biased corporate media outlets, as well as the “official” party line spewed out the mouths of the government puppets and lackeys.

Amidst this confusion, Americans are also told that we are living in a period of “anti-science aggression,” a phrase popularized by Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and Director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development. Hotez is also the author of the upcoming book The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science.
According to Hotez, there is a rise of Americans who stubbornly refuse to accept “the science” as dogma and continue to expect scientists and studies to be free of corporate bias and conflicts of interest.
Unfortunately for Hotez, more Americans are questioning the golden calves of “modern science,” including the COVID-19 panic, vaccinations, virology, and water fluoridation.
The Fluoride Information War
The practice of adding “fluoride” — actually a combination of unpurified byproducts of phosphate mining — in the water has been happening for 70 years and has been heralded as one of the greatest health achievements of the 20th century. This process of taking waste from the phosphate industry and putting it into drinking water has long been criticized for its effects on human health and the environment.
The practice has also been the subject of a 2016 lawsuit between the Fluoride Action Network and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The lawsuit has resulted in a 2020 trial which was put on hold until late last year, and will finally resume in January 2024.
The suit has also brought to light numerous scandals, including a scientist claiming he was threatened for his work showing fluoride’s toxicity, Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine blocking the release of a report which shows fluoride impacts the IQ of children, and a behind-the-scenes look at scientists doing their best to maintain the integrity of their research.
Despite these revelations, there has been a near blackout from the corporate media regarding the fluoride lawsuit and the paradigm-shifting implications. The Fluoride Action Network has recently revealed another controversy with the release of emails obtained via Public Records Act requests.
The emails come from California’s State Dental Director, Dr. Jayanth Kumar, and are related to a now-published meta-analysis in the journal Public Health which claims that fluoridated water does not have an association with lower IQ in children.
FAN Attorney Michael Connett obtained Dr. Kumar’s emails and shared them with the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the U.S. government agency at the heart of an ongoing controversial review of fluoride’s toxicity. Draft reports from the NTP concluded that fluoride exposure can lead to lower IQ in children.
The FAN reports:
“Kumar is not an independent voice on the issue of fluoride’s safety. At a recent deposition, Kumar admitted his “job is to promote fluoridation” and that he is “literally being paid to promote fluoridation.”
