Recent Media Coverage of the Trial
The trial has continued to garner media coverage, though not from mainstream outlets despite FAN repeatedly reaching out to them with our press releases, videos, and the studies linking fluoridation to an increased risk of serious side-effects. That said, the coverage we have received has been very good. On that note, I’d like to re-share an article published last week by Bloomberg Law because, while it does include some pro-fluoridation talking points, I feel that it really emphasizes the significance of our lawsuit and trial not only for our own movement but for all citizens and organizations working to get the EPA to adequately regulate environmental toxins: “Fluoride Science on Trial in Case With Broader Chemical Impacts”.
Additional coverage includes:
- Law360 has been providing daily trial coverage in three recent articles, “Fluoride Risk Trial Opens With Claim Exposure Drops Kids’ IQ,” “Harvard Professor Testifies Fluoride is ‘Definitely’ Neurotoxic,” and “Harvard Prof. Slams Study Showing IQ Gains From Fluoride.“
- Brenda Baletti, Ph.D., has also been providing daily coverage of the trial for the Children’s Health Defense, including “Fluoride Expert Squares Off Against EPA on Day 1 of Landmark Trial,” and “Fluoride on Trial, Day 2: Fluoride Poses Risks to Pregnant Women, Too.”
- Independent investigative journalist Derrick Broze has been providing detailed up to the minute reporting on our trial with live tweeting, interviews, and vlog posts. Follow his work on Twitter.
- The news department for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, called Science published, “Does Fluoride in Drinking Water Lower IQ? Question Looms Large in Court Battle.”
