Study States Fluoride Is Part Of Brain Damage Pandemic

In 2012, Harvard university researchers verified that over 20 worldwide studies linking fluoride exposure ad lowered IQ’s.

” “our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children’s neurodevelopment.”, “The children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than those who lived in low fluoride areas,”

Many in the pro-fluoride lobby try to brush this aside or outright ignore it. As Dr. Levin does when Frank asks him about the Harvard study in the below video.

Now a new study on Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity, by Dr Philippe Grandjean MD and Philip J Landrigan MD. Labels fluoride along with several other chemicals as “developmental neurotoxicants” and states that “To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, we propose a global prevention strategy.”

Here is the summary from the study.

Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in frequency. Industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain are among the known causes for this rise in prevalence. In 2006, we did a systematic review and identified five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Since 2006, epidemiological studies have documented six additional developmental neurotoxicants—manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers. We postulate that even more neurotoxicants remain undiscovered. To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, we propose a global prevention strategy. Untested chemicals should not be presumed to be safe to brain development, and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicity. To coordinate these efforts and to accelerate translation of science into prevention, we propose the urgent formation of a new international clearinghouse.

The EPA also labels fluoride as a developmental neurotoxicant, in a chart “database” that can be found HERE

The question about fluoride lowering IQ’s of children and causing brain damage, is being answered. I encourage anyone who lives in fluoridated communities to forward this information to their elected representatives, friends, and family.
