In 1999 Masters reported on crime rates and deaths from alcoholism in fluoridated areas:

* Crime rates in the cities using SiF were significantly higher than in non-fluoridating cities (H2SiF6 = 1486 per 100,000; Na2SiF6 = 1480 per 100,000; non-fluoridated = 1100 per 100,000), as were rates of death from alcoholism (H2SiF6 = 56.1 per 100,000; Na2SiF6 = 53.8 per 100,000; non-fluoridated = 44.1 per 100,000).” Masters RD - “Poisoning the Well: Neurotoxic Metals, Water Treatment, and Human Behavior” Plenary Address to Annual Conference of the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences, Four Seasons Hotel, Atlanta, GA -- 9:00AM, Sept. 2, 1999 LINK

Regarding cocaine addiction, Masters reported:

* Among 30,000 criminals in 24 cities studied by NIJ, those living where SiF is in water were more likely to have been using cocaine at the time of their arrest (H2SiF6 = 44%; Na2SiF6 = 43%; non-fluoridated = 32%).

Why would this be? While Masters stipulates that this might be due to increased lead uptake caused by silicofluorides, this is only partially the reason. Fluorides reduce thyroid hormone which is further compounded by increased lead uptake. Thyroid hormones regulate the critical pathways involved in alcoholism, as well as cocaine addiction and violent behaviour.
