Note: The following two Tables list studies that have been published in Fluoride, a journal that PubMed, the largest search engine for biomedical research, refuses to index. PubMed is funded by the American taxpayer through the National Institutes of Health. In Table 3, below, is a list of 19 of the 37 studies correlating exposure to fluoride with the lowering of IQ in children. Most of the links are for the “whole” volume. If that is the case, go to the Table of Contents in the beginning pages of the journal where there are links to the individual reports.

19 of the 37 studies correlating exposure to fluoride and the lowering of IQ in children
Note: Of these 19 studies, 8 were original studies published in Fluoride and 11 were translated (by the Fluoride Action Network) and published in Fluoride with permission of the Chinese journals that originally published them.
