In the first game-changing fluoride neurotoxicity study, Bashash (2017) found a link between fluoride in the urine of pregnant women and lower measures of intelligence in their offspring.

New Study Links Child Neurodevelopmental Deficits to Fluoridated Water in Calgary
A just-released study by University of Calgary researchers found “poorer inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility” in preschool children whose mothers were pregnant during times when the water was fluoridated in Calgary, Canada (Dewey 2023). The authors said their tests measured “executive function deficits [that have been] consistently associated with behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders such as […]
Australian study of fluoridation neurotoxicity: Streetlight Effect Fallacy.
Researchers looked in the wrong place. Couldn’t find IQ loss that other studies found. Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher, June 3, 1942. In a classic Mutt & Jeff comic a drunk is crawling around on the ground under a streetlight, looking for his dropped coin. A cop asks, “Did you drop it here?” and […]
British Scientist & Study Author Condemns UK Proposal
As the House of Lords in the United Kingdom considers a proposal to mandate fluoridation in the National Health and Care bill, esteemed British scientists are continuing to speak out in opposition. In October, three scientists–Vyvyan Howard, MB, ChB, PhD, Spedding Micklem, PhD, and Paul Connett, PhD–published a public statement to Boris Johnson, ripping apart the […]
Study Shows Fluoride Harms at 0.2 ppm – FAN Lawyer Sends Copy to TSCA Judge
A landmark study by Grandjean et al. has just been published confirming that very low levels of fluoride exposure during pregnancy impairs the brain development of the child, and at a population level may be causing more damage than lead, mercury, or arsenic. The paper’s authors ultimately concluded that a maternal urine fluoride concentration of 0.2mg/L […]
New Study Finds Fluoride Reduces IQ
New study finds fluoride lowers IQ at exposures similar to artificially fluoridated water and genetics can cause heightened vulnerability The latest epidemiological study finding an association between fluoride exposures and reduced IQ in children was at exposures in the same range as occur in areas with artificial water fluoridation. The study by Zhao et al (2021), […]
Fluoride exposure and sleep patterns among older adolescents in the United States: a cross-sectional study of NHANES 2015–2016.
Abstract Background Fluoride from environmental sources accumulates preferentially in the pineal gland which produces melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. However, the effects of fluoride on sleep regulation remain unknown. This population-based study examined whether chronic low-level fluoride exposure is associated with sleep patterns and daytime sleepiness among older adolescents in the United […]

FAN Comments on NTP Study: “Fluoride is presumed to be a cognitive neurodevelopmental hazard to humans”
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — On Oct 22, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) published a draft review of fluoride’s neurotoxicity concluding: “…fluoride is presumed to be a cognitive neurodevelopmental hazard to humans. This conclusion is based on a consistent pattern of findings in human studies across several different populations showing that higher fluoride […]
