The JAMA Pediatrics report is based on work prepared for the National Toxicology Program’s324-page monographon fluoride and brain development, which was finalized in August. Here’s a closer look at what it does — and doesn’t — show. Advertisement Where do the data com...
The debate on the fluoridation of drinking water — one of the most polarized, long-running, and high-decibel controversies in public health — has been reignited as new studies find that fluoride is toxic to the developing brain. Last week, the U.S. National Toxicology Program released a sy...
New science indicating fluoride’s dangers to the brain and other organs will be presented by prominent fluoride research scientists during back-to-back conferences of the International Society for Fluoride Research (ISFR) and the Fluoride Action Network
"Though further epidemiological studies are needed to validate the findings, these results add to the growing concern about the potential neurotoxic effects of fluoride, especially during early brain development and childhood," Godebo said. "These tests affirmed a clear association between high fluoride...
Background Fluoride has been associated with IQ deficits during early brain development, but the period in which children are most sensitive is unknown. Objective We assessed effects of fluoride on IQ scores across prenatal and postnatal exposure windows. Methods We used repeated-exposures from 596 ...
Next, the research team will explore how exposure to fluoride during pregnancy may impact brain development among infants in the MADRES study. Additional studies in other regions of the country can also help determine the extent of the problem and the best way forward, Bastain said. ...
and save$100 billionper year in the US. Last-century's science discovered that fluoride disrupts development of the hardest substance in our body: tooth enamel. This century's science is increasingly discovering thatfluoride disrupts development of the most crucial organ in our body: the brain. ...
“Opposition to fluoridation is now at least 70 years old, but for most of that time has been wrongly dismissed as a fringe and unscientific position,” FAN’s executive director, Paul Connett, said in a statement. “The rapidly emerging science on developmental neurotoxicity, especially loss ...

more direct and appropriate means of preventing caries. Second, systemic fluoride uptake is suspected of causing adverse effects, in particular neurotoxicity during early development. The latter is supported by experimental neurotoxicity findings and toxicokinetic evidence of fluoride passing into the brain....
