  • Opinion: Serious failures in Wellington’s fluoride system

    Note from Fluoride Action Network: This opinion piece was written by Peter Griffin, a science and technology writer. Griffin should have a lot of credibility as he is the founding director of the Science Media Centre and founding editor of Sciblogs.co.nz. In August 2019 Griffin wrote an opinion piece on the Green et al. paper […]

  • Exposure to environmental neurotoxic substances and neurodevelopment in children from Latin America and the Caribbean.

    Introduction Environmental neurotoxicants are pollutants that can negatively affect many cellular metabolic-processes through different pathways: neuroendocrine/thyroid hormone disruption (Pb, methyl-Hg, organochlorines, and polychlorinated biphenyls-PCB), oxidative stress (Pb, methyl-Hg, organochlorines, and chlorpyrifos), dopamine dysfunction (Pb, methyl-Hg, As, chlorpyrifos, pyrethroids, and organochlorines) (Heyer and Meredith, 2017; Rock and Patisaul, 2018). Pistollato et al. (2020) studied neurotoxic substances […]

  • The Letter of Concern sent to the IRB members

    The concerns to the serious problems of this experiment are enumerated in this first of four letters sent to the members of the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The letter was signed by Paul Connett, PhD, Executive Director, American Environmental Health Studies Project (AEHSP) and the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). To date, no acknowlegment of the […]

  • A ringside view of the battle between science and politics over fluoride’s neurotoxicity.

    Paul Connett’s statement for the BSC meeting May 4, 2023 A ringside view of the battle between science and politics over fluoride’s neurotoxicity. Introduction When I first became involved with the fluoridation issue in 1996 (I didn’t want the issue for fear of stigmatization from colleagues, but my wife persuaded me to read the scientific […]

  • The 78 Fluoride-IQ studies

    The 78 human studies listed below reported an association of exposure to elevated levels of fluoride and lowered IQ. These studies are based on IQ/cognitive examinations of 29,130 children (75 studies) and 689 adults (3 studies). Location of the Studies: China (47), India (14), Iran (4), Mexico (4), Canada (4), Egypt (1), Kenya (1), Pakistan […]

  • Fluoride IQ Studies: # of participants

    The following are two Tables that contain the number of participants in the fluoride IQ studies. Table 1 contains the information from the 78 studies that found an association of fluoride exposure with the lowering of IQ. Participants included: 29,130 children and 689 adults. Table 2 contains the information from the 9 studies that found no association of […]

  • The Mother-Offspring Fluoride Studies

    There are now 11 Mother-Offspring fluoride studies. Eight of the studies revealed that the fetus and the formula-fed infant (Till 2020) are the most vulnerable to fluoride’s neurotoxicity. Nine of the 11 studies measured the urinary levels of pregnant women for fluoride as it is the most accurate indicator of daily total fluoride intake. The […]

  • Lawsuit Documents: (2016-present)

  • Fluoride’s Neurotoxicity

    The TSCA trial will provide evidence that fluoride is a developmental neurotoxicant at levels of exposure seen in the general population in water-fluoridated communities. The following studies were online as of May 20, 2020. Studies on Fluoride’s Effect on the Brain: • 69 IQ studies (there were 52 IQ studies, reporting lower IQ due to […]
