The "fluoride conspiracy" is a term used to describe various theories and beliefs that assert fluoride, a compound commonly added to water supplies and oral hygiene products like toothpaste, is harmful to human health and is being used for nefarious purposes by governments or other entities. These theories often suggest that fluoride is being used for mind control, population control, or other sinister agendas.

However, it's important to note that these theories lack scientific credibility and are widely regarded as conspiracy theories. The overwhelming scientific consensus, supported by numerous studies and research conducted by reputable institutions worldwide, is that fluoride, when used in appropriate concentrations, is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay and promoting dental health. The addition of fluoride to water supplies, known as water fluoridation, has been recognized by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as one of the most significant public health achievements of the 20th century.

Conspiracy theories about fluoride often stem from misunderstandings, misinformation, and distrust of government or authority. It's essential to critically evaluate information and rely on reputable sources when assessing claims about public health and safety.
