A Recap Of Day Two & What To Expect On Day Three

Wow, day two of the trial was both entertaining and thrilling, as our second expert witness, Danish scientist and neurotoxicity expert Philippe Grandjean, MD, DMSc, took the stand.  According to many who watched, he left no doubt that fluoridation poses a threat to the brains of children, and he completely dismantled the EPA’s arguments, paid experts, and lines of questioning.  It was a sight to behold, and once the court makes a recording available we will share it with enthusiasm.

Media coverage has increased substantially, with major outlets now reporting on the trial thanks to our media team’s extensive outreach and education campaign.  Two articles we’d like to highlight are those by the San Francisco Chronicle and journalist Dan Ross of Fair Warning, whose article was picked up by additional outlets, including the Oregonian.

There has also been a great deal of social media activity around the trial.  You can see some of it by searching for the hashtag #Fluoridetrial on Twitter, though we urge supporters using this medium to instead use #FluorideLawsuit as we have over the past year.

Today, we expect to hear the just the end of testimony from Howard Hu, MD, MPH, Sc.D., who testified on day one.  We also expect to hear from renowned clinical scientist and professor Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH (a co-author of the Green et al., 2019 study and the Till et al., 2020 study).  Here is his declaratory statement and resume: Bruce Lanphear’s Statement.
