Fluoride Action Network

The New Professionals’ Statement

November 15, 2018: Professionals are asked to sign a new statement calling for the end of water fluoridation worldwide. This is a response to the new Mother-Offspring fluoride studies which, for the first time, identified the fetus as the most vulnerable to fluoride's adverse neurotoxic (brain damaging) effects. Professionals can add their name to this statement by clicking the link below.
