Fluoride in Water article here:

NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Exposure to fluoridemay lower children's intelligence says a study pre-published inEnvironmental Health Perspectives, a publication of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (online December 17, 2010).

 

Fluoride is added to 70% of U.S. public drinking water supplies.

 

According to Paul Connett, Ph.D., director of the Fluoride ActionNetwork, "This is the 24th study that has found this association, butthis study is stronger than the rest because the authors have controlledfor key confounding variables and in addition to correlating lowered IQwith levels of fluoride in the water, the authors found a correlationbetween lowered IQ and fluoride levels in children's blood. This bringsus closer to a cause and effect relationship between fluoride exposureand brain damage in children."

 

"What is also striking is that the levels of the fluoride in thecommunity where the lowered IQs were recorded were lower than the EPA'sso-called 'safe' drinking water standard for fluoride of 4 ppm and fartoo close for comfort to the levels used in artificial fluoridationprograms (0.7 – 1.2 ppm)," says Connett.

 

In this study, 512 children aged 8-13 years in two Chinese villages werestudied and tested – Wamaio with an average of 2.47 mg/L water fluoride(range 0.57-4.50 mg/L) and Xinhuai averaging 0.36 mg/L (range 0.18-0.76mg/L).

 

The authors eliminated both lead exposure and iodine deficiency aspossible causes for the lowered IQs. They also excluded any children whohad a history of brain disease or head injury and none drank brick tea,known to contain high fluoride levels. Neither village is exposed tofluoride pollution from burning coal or other industrial sources.

 

About 28% of the children in the low-fluoride area scored as bright,normal or higher intelligence compared to only 8% in the "high" fluoridearea of Wamaio.

 

In the high-fluoride city, 15% had scores indicating mental retardation and only 6% in the low-fluoride city.

 

The study authors write: "In this study we found a significantdose-response relation between fluoride level in serum and children'sIQ."

 

In addition to this study, and the 23 other IQ studies, there have beenover 100 animal studies linking fluoride to brain damage (all the IQ andanimal brain studies are listed in Appendix 1 inThe Case Against Fluorideavailable online athttp://fluoridealert.org/caseagainstfluoride.appendices.html).

 

One of the earliest animal studies of fluoride's impact on the brain waspublished in the U.S. This study by Mullenix et. al (1995) led to thefiring of the lead author by the Forsyth Dental Center. "This sent aclear message to other researchers in the U.S. that it was not good fortheir careers to look into the health effects of fluoride – particularlyon the brain," says Connett.

 

Connett adds, "The result is that while the issue of fluoride's impacton IQ is being aggressively pursued around the world, practically nowork has been done in the U.S. or other fluoridating countries to repeattheir findings. Sadly, health agencies in fluoridated countries seem tobe more intent on protecting the fluoridation program than protectingchildren's brains."

 

When the National Research Council of the National Academies reviewedthis topic in their 507-page report "Fluoride in Drinking Water: AReview of EPA's Standards" published in 2006, only 5 of the 24 IQstudies were available in English. Even so the panel found the linkbetween fluoride exposure and lowered IQ both consistent and"plausible."

According to Tara Blank, Ph.D., the Science and Health Officer for theFluoride Action Network, "This should be the study that finally endswater fluoridation. Millions of American children are being exposedunnecessarily to this neurotoxin on a daily basis. Who in their rightminds would risk lowering their child's intelligence in order to reduce asmall amount of tooth decay, for which the evidence is very weak."

  • It's creepy that they put Flouride in Tap Water....

    Getting a Reverse Osmosis Filter will remove it.  I would recommend getting one if you plan on drinking Tap Water....

    • Yes as would a water distiller, however, drinking distilled water for prolonged periods without adding back in some useful and essential to life trace minerals is not recommended.
