The final report of a 6-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) review of fluoride neurotoxicity was blocked from public release by the Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Administrator in May 2022. But under an agreement reached in a FAN’s lawsuit against the EPA, the report was made public today along with a table of contents. Also released were comments from external peer-reviewers and internal HHS departments, along with NTP’s responses. The review considered all human studies of fluoride’s effect on the developing brain. Its conclusion confirmed and strengthened the findings from two earlier draft versions released in 2019 and 2020. External peer-reviewers all agreed with the report’s conclusion that prenatal and early life fluoride exposures can reduce IQ.
