  • Study claiming fluoride does not lower IQ is flawed

    A recent New Zealand study published in the American Journal of Public Health, which claims to exonerate a link between fluoride and lowered IQ, is scientifically flawed and reveals blatant examiner bias, says the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). The study’s co-author, pro-fluoridation activist and dentist Jonathan Broadbent, claimed: “Our findings will hopefully help to put […]

  • Chemicals like fluoride in toothpaste may be eroding child IQs: disputed study

    Paris:  Two public health experts warned on Saturday about the stunting effects that a wide array of industrial chemicals, including toothpaste ingredient fluoride, may be having on child brain development, in a report some called alarmist. The pair, Philippe Grandjean of the Harvard School of Public Health and Philip Landrigan from New York’s Icahn School […]

  • Harvard Study Finds Fluoride Lowers IQ

    Harvard University researchers’ review of fluoride/brain studies concludes “our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children’s neurodevelopment.” It was published online July 20 in Environmental Health Perspectives, a US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences’ journal (1), reports the NYS Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc. (NYSCOF) “The children in high […]

  • Dunedin fluoride-IQ study finds no ill-effect

    A planned Dunedin study into whether fluoridated water reduces IQ has been shelved. However, another University of Otago study looking at the same controversial question has been completed, its findings accepted for publication later this year in a prominent American public health journal. Co-authored by public health dentistry specialist Dr Jonathan Broadbent, it found no […]

  • Fluoride Lowers IQ in Kids, New Study Shows

    A review of some two dozen studies by Harvard University researchers published this month in a peer-reviewed federal journal suggests that fluoride added into water supplies “significantly” decreases the IQ of children, leading to renewed calls by activists to end the controversial practice of fluoridation. Most public water supplies in the United States still have […]

  • Harvard scientists: Data on fluoride, IQ not applicable in U.S.

    Harvard University scientists say that Wichita voters shouldn’t depend on a research study they compiled to decide whether to put fluoride in the city’s drinking water to fight tooth decay. While the studies the Harvard team reviewed did indicate that very high levels of fluoride could be linked to lower IQs among schoolchildren, the data […]

  • Harvard study: Fluoridated water lowers children’s IQ

    Researchers at Harvard University recently published the results of a long-term analysis that links fluoridated water to lower IQ scores in children. The alarming findings were released in Environmental Health Perspectives, a publication of the National Institute of Health.   Professor Philippe Grandjean and research scientist Anna L. Choi of Harvard University partnered with medical […]

  • Water Fluoridation Affects Children’s IQ

    Why, in 1974, didn’t authorities learn from this terrible tragedy? A 3-year-old Brooklyn boy, during his first dental checkup, had fluoride paste applied to his teeth. He was then handed a glass of water, but the hygienist failed to inform him to swish the solution around in his mouth, and then spit it out. Instead, […]

  • Prevalence and estimation of the occupational risk of the musculoskeletal disorders in workers of aluminum potrooms

    The most severe consequence of intensive exposure to fluorides is skeletal injury with initial injury of spongy bones (pelvis and spine) and calcification of the ligaments, followed by involvement of the long bones in the disease. These radiological-morphological abnormalities are the diagnostic criteria and have been made the basis for classification of skeletal fluorosis [5, […]
