Dimitri Christakis, Editor of JAMA Pediatrics, on Fluoride
“I would advise them (pregnant women) to drink bottled water or filtered water…” In August of 2019, the world’s premier pediatric journal, JAMA Pediatrics, published a U.S. government-funded study linking exposure to “optimally” fluoridated water during pregnancy to lowered IQ in the child (Green, 2019). JAMA Pediatrics editor, Dimitri Christakis, remarked on the significance of […]

One-Pager on Fluoride’s Neurotoxicity
The last few years have seen unprecedented new science from Canada, Mexico, and the United States showing fluoride harms the developing brain from exposures due primarily to artificial water fluoridation. In an effort to streamline this emerging science to the public in a clear, digestible way, FAN has created a one page document to help […]

Riddell 2019 Study: Fluoride in Water Linked to ADHD Symptoms and Diagnoses
A paper published by in 2019 by Riddell et. al, “Association of water fluoride and urinary fluoride concentrations with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Canadian youth“, found that exposure to higher levels of fluoride in tap water is associated with an increased risk of ADHD symptoms and diagnosis of ADHD among Canadian youth, particularly among […]

Four Studies That Show Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water Unnecessarily Endangers Children’s Brains
Dr. Paul Connett, PhD, director of FAN, says of the scientific evidence: “As of 2020 there have been 72 fluoride-IQ studies, of which 64 found a lower IQ among children with higher fluoride exposure. Many of the earlier studies were in places with elevated natural fluoride levels. There is now very strong evidence that fluoride damages both […]

Integrity in Science and Public Health
In this video produced by the Fluoride Action Network, Dr. William Ghali, MD and Dr. Aravind Ganesh, MD of the O’Brien Institute exemplify scientific integrity by reporting on the neurotoxic effects of fluoride, and admonishing attempts to downplay the importance and relevance of a growing body of scientific evidence. Dr William Ghali, MD, is the […]

FAN Takes Its Critique of the NTP Report to the NAS
On Tuesday, November 6th, the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) held a meeting at their offices in Washington, D.C., to share the preliminary findings of the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) draft review on fluoride’s neurotoxicity with reporters and the public. In short, the NTP concluded that after 70 years of adding fluoridation chemicals to the […]

Criticisms of Recent JAMA Fluoride/IQ Study Are Unfounded
FAN PRESS RELEASE AUGUST 21: A newly published carefully-researched and meticulously peer-reviewed US government-funded study published in JAMA Pediatrics reports maternal fluoride levels are linked to offspring’s lower IQ. But the same day the study was released, many fluoridation proponents erroneously dismissed it, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Above Video: Paul Connett Responds to Criticisms of the […]
