The "'''Fluoride stare'''" is a popular term among [[conspiracy theorists]] for the look that normal people give them when they have said something bafflingly stupid.<ref>[http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2016/04/24/the-fluoride-stare-the-conspiracy-theory-catchphrase-taking-the-flat-earth-by-storm/ The Fluoride Stare: the Conspiracy Theory Catchphrase Taking the Flat Earth by Storm], [[We Hunted the Mammoth]]</ref> It is named after supposed poisoning that conspiracy theorists think normal people get from everyone's favorite scary industrial wet scrubber byproduct, [[fluoride]], in tap [[water]].

The "'''Fluoride stare'''" is a meme.
 
 
The argument is essentially that, rather than the conspiracy nut being wrong, absolutely everyone else has been poisoned because to them, fluoride has been proven to be a neurotoxin by a single study<ref name=choi>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3491930/ Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis] by Anna L. Choi et al. ''Environ. Health Perspect.'' 2012 Oct; 120(10): 1362–1368.

Conspiracy theorists miss that point. The people that point out the issues of citing that study are brain-damaged, and the mountains of PubMed systematic reviews that show artificial fluoridation's safety are just made by other brain-damaged people. What fluoride conspiracy theorists actually see is likely a cross between their target's faith in humanity being partially broken and the thought "Oh dear lord not another crazy" before trying to escape.
 
 
 
==As a rhetorical tactic==
 
In reality, it is just a bad [[poisoning the well|poisoning-the-well]] idea, like the [[shill gambit]], in order to help with [[cognitive dissonance]] to [[Dog whistle politics|communicate with the "in" crowd]]. It also functions as [[Style over substance|a catchy phrase to scream at debunkers]]. It allows conspiracy theorists to ignore or deny any information that conflicts with existing beliefs because everyone who doesn't agree is bought or has [[brain]] damage from fluoride.
