Science continues to provide more evidence that fluoride, which is added to most public drinking water systems in the U.S. as a way to fight tooth decay, causes more harm than good.
The Fluoride Action Network said in a press release that a newly discovered and translated study found that fluoride is linked to lower IQ, even at ranges added to U.S. water supplies. Moreover, the group said, fluoridation promoters "misrepresented" data from a recent Harvard fluoride/IQ study.
In all, FAN said, 34 studies now link fluoride to lower IQ levels in humans, while scores of other studies correlate fluoride to learning and memory impairment, fetal brain damage, altered neurobehavioral function and altered thyroid hormone levels. [link to www.fluoridealert.org]
"Legislators who mandate fluoridation without carefully considering this research are doing a profound disservice to the health and welfare of their constituents," attorney Michael Connett of FAN said.
In a macro review of 27 fluoride/IQ studies, Harvard researchers concluded recently that the chemical's effect on children's developing brains should be a "high research priority," especially in the United States which, they concluded, has never investigated the effects of fluoride on the brain.
