Hillenbrand, a covert pro-fluoride operative at the American Dental Association, was appointed as the 1st dental advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO). Within a decade, the WHO promoted fluoride as a public health measure. Hillenbrand had no fluoride expertise.
🧵 1. Starting in 1944, the Sugar Industry championed fluoride as necessary to prevent dental decay. The American Dental Association (ADA) opposed fluoride, citing toxicity concerns. Hillenbrand, ADA editor, breached ADA policies and took it upon himself to settle this conflict.
Internal records show that private interests, not public interests, captured the WHO dental-health agenda from the very beginning in 1948. The first dentist to advise the WHO on dental issues was (1) perceived as very helpful by the Sugar Research Foundation, and (2) privately took full responsibility to reverse the American Dental Association’s position on fluoride from harmful to safe.
