"When most people hear the word fluoride, they generally think of their teeth and their dentist. Fluoride, after all, is added to some public water systems and many dental products for the purpose of preventing cavities. Less well known is that fluoride is a highly toxic compound, a major industrial air pollutant, a key ingredient in some pesticides and fumigants, the cause of a tooth defect that currently impacts over 40% of American teenagers, and the cause of a devastating bone disease that impacts millions of people throughout the world. For too long, the toxicity of fluoride compounds has been overlooked by the public health and environmental communities. The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) was founded in 2000 to remedy this imbalance." In May of 2004, FAN became an official project of the American Environmental Health Studies Project (AEHSP)[1]

In December 2013, Stuart Cooper, FAN's Campaign Director, noted: "With the help of Dr. Mercola’s challenge grant, yesterday we raised $2,398 from 23 donors. This is doubled with Mercola’s matching grant and so our adjusted total is $4,396 from 22 donors." [1]
