Several In Utero Fluoride/IQ Studies Should Provoke A Nation-Wide Fluoridation Moratorium
NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Critics of the fluoride-IQ study published this month in JAMA Pediatrics claimed it needed replication. However, the Canadian study by Green (2019) was already a replication of another U.S. government-funded study published in 2017 by Bashash which found similar effects, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Both were Mother-Offspring studies […]
