A new study pre-published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives confirms
that fluoridated water causes brain damage in children. The most recent among 23
others pertaining to fluoride and lowered IQ levels, the new study so strongly proves
that fluoride is a dangerous, brain-destroying toxin that experts say it could be
the one that finally ends water fluoridation.
"This is the 24th study that has found
this association," explained Paul Connett, Ph.D., director of the Fluoride Action
Network (FAN). "[B]ut this study is stronger than the rest because the authors have
controlled for key confounding variables and in addition to correlating lowered IQ
with levels of fluoride in the water, the authors found a correlation between lowered
IQ and fluoride levels in children's blood."
For the study, researchers evaluated
512 children ages 8-13 in two Chinese villages, one village with higher than average
fluoride levels and the other with lower than average fluoride levels. After accounting
for external variables like lead exposure, iodine deficiency and other conditions
that might affect brain health, the team still found that the number of higher intelligence
children in the low fluoride community was 350 percent higher than the number in
the high fluoride community.
"In this study we found a significant dose-response relation between fluoride level in serum and children's IQ," wrote the study authors.
