• Fluoride No Benefit to Poor, studies show

  Even when fluoridated water is the most consumed item, cavities are extensive in low-income Americans when their diets are bad, according to Caries Research. (1) Burt and colleagues studied low-income African-American adults, 14-years-old and over, living in Detroit, Michigan, where water suppliers add fluoride chemicals attempting to prevent cavities. Yet, 83% of this population has […]

• Contradictory scientific studies raise questions about fluoride safety

  Two scientific studies focusing on the safety of the chemicals for water fluoridation most commonly used by cities across the country — including Burlington — have become a part of the Burlington debate on whether to continue fluoridating the city’s water supply. One study suggests there might be a link between use of the fluoridation […]

• Fluoride Linked to Low IQ, Studies Show

  Children’s intelligence declines as their natural drinking water fluoride levels increase, concluded a Chinese study in the May 2003 journal, “Fluoride.” Children scored inferior IQ’s even when fluoride levels were similar to that added to U.S. water supplies to prevent tooth decay (1). “As the fluoride levels in drinking water increased, the IQ fell and […]

• Kids eat too much fluoride from foods, studies show

  NEW YORK, March 17 /PRNewswire/ — Kids ingest excessive fluoride, studies show, not just from toothpaste, but from their foods, making water fluoridation unnecessary and unsafe, reports the New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation (NYSCOF). University of Indiana researchers analyzed foods typical three- to five-year-olds eat and found diet significantly contributes to children’s daily […]

• Fluoride Lowers IQ, Studies Show

  [Rachel’s introduction: “The Precautionary Principle dictates that fluoride, now shown to alter the brain at low levels, should cease being added to water supplies.”] Dr. Vyvyan Howard, a prominent fetal toxicologist said in a recent Canadian TV interview that current brain/fluoride research convinces him that we should stop water fluoridation. Dr. Howard, President of the […]

• Fluoridation & Tea Do Not Mix, Studies Continue to Show

  New York – September 25 – Fluoridation puts tea drinkers at risk of damaged bones, discolored teeth and soft tissue harm, studies show. Tea has naturally high fluoride levels. Excess fluoride can weaken bones and discolor children’s un-erupted teeth. When fluoridated water is used to make tea, fluoride levels consumed can be health damaging. Four […]

• New Studies Find Fluoridation Ineffective

  A number of new studies have cast yet further doubt on the benefits of water fluoridation. 1) A study from the journal Caries Research (Seppa et al, 2002) reports no differences in dental decay when comparing the dental records of a fluoridated and unfluoridated town in Finland. As the study notes “even a longitudinal approach […]

• Rat Studies Link Brain Cell Damage With Aluminum and Fluoride in Water

  ANAHEIM, Calif. – A team of New York scientists said rat studies offer preliminary evidence that aluminum, when administered in drinking water, may be linked with behavior changes and damaged brain cells. The study, presented at the meeting here of the Society for Neuroscience, is the latest of several studies hinting at some link between […]

• 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 […]
