Translated Previously Inaccessible Chinese Studies on Fluoride and IQ

FAN has conducted extensive searches of the Chinese literature on fluoride toxicity. In 2007, Michael Connett accessed and arranged translations for 20 studies investigating fluoride’s impact on the brain, including 10 studies finding reduced childhood intelligence. In 2008, 18 of these 20 studies were published in the English-language journal Fluoride, thus helping to ensure that the findings would be considered by US regulatory agencies and the larger scientific community. In July of 2012, a team of Harvard scientists published a meta-review of fluoride’s impact on IQ which cited and discussed 10 of the studies that FAN translated.
