  • Artificial Fluoridation Damaging Children’s Developing Brains: An Analysis of NTP Data

    Scientific Conference Presentation: Artificial Fluoridation Damaging Children’s Developing Brains: Analysis Of NTP Data MAIN FINDINGS: “High-quality studies of fluoride neurotoxicity are remarkably consistent in finding statistically significant adverse effects at exposure levels of artificial fluoridation.”  “Dose-response analyses show adverse effects likely at exposures as low as 0.3 mg/L or lower.” Last month, FAN’s Research Director, […]

  • 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 […]

  • New Deposition Videos Featuring CDC Oral Health Director

    If you could ask representatives of the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) about the safety and efficacy of fluoridation under oath, what would you ask them? Our lawyers had that opportunity during depositions for our TSCA case in federal court, and today we will reveal two new video clips featuring the CDC’s Oral […]

  • Studies of Fluoride Supplements: No Evidence of Safety – No Benefit Either

    According to the Cochrane Oral Health Group, fluoride supplements fail to reduce tooth decay in primary teeth, permanent teeth cavity-reduction is dubious and health risks are little studied (1). Further, “When fluoride supplements were compared with topical fluorides or with other preventive measures, there was no differential effect on permanent or deciduous teeth,” write Cochrane […]

  • Fluoride: lowering IQ’s?

    ••• Note from FAN: This undated article was published online close to May 1, 2008 ••• New studies from China show that an excessive intake of fluoride can accumulate in the brain, permanently reducing a child’s intelligence. Two suburban villages in Shanxi Province in China are very much alike – except for the level of […]

  • Fluoride in Water Linked to Lower IQ in Children

    Exposure to fluoride may lower children’s intelligence says a study pre-published in Environmental 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 Action Network, “This is the 24th […]

  • Key Deposition Segments From The TSCA Fluoride Lawsuit – STK

    The Director of the CDC’s Oral Health Division, Casey Hannan, testifies that the CDC is unable to cite studies showing fluoride is effective when swallowed: Director Hannan admits that CDC is not aware of any evidence of fluoride’s benefit to infants. As you watch this, keep in mind that there are now 10 studies funded […]

  • Studies: All Infant Formula Contains Fluoride at Tooth-Discoloring Levels

    New York – October 21, 2009 – All infant formulas, whether ready-to-feed, concentrated or organic, contain fluoride at levels which can discolor developing teeth, reports the October 2009 Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) (1). Fluoride, added to some bottled and public water supplies ostensibly to prevent cavities, is also in many foods and […]
