A Benchmark Dose Analysis for Maternal Pregnancy Urine-Fluoride and IQ in Children.
This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice. Abstract As a safe exposure level for fluoride in pregnancy has not been established, we used data from two prospective studies for benchmark dose […]

A Benchmark Dose Analysis for Maternal Pregnancy Urine-Fluoride and IQ in Children.
Discussion … The increased precision using the average maternal U-F concentration as an indicator of prenatal fluoride exposure results in stronger statistical evidence of fluoride-associated deficits, compared with using cross-sectional or retrospective studies. Still, the amount of fluoride that reaches the brain during early brain development is unknown, and even the maternal U-F concentration measurements […]

Fluoride Exposure through Different Drinking Water Sources in a Contaminated Basin in Guanajuato, Mexico: A Deterministic Human Health Risk Assessment.
4. Discussion This study’s different results suggest past, present, and potentially future exposure to F– levels above the international drinking water guidelines, and that consequently represents a health risk for children and women whose drinking water source is the La Onza well or wells with similar F- concentrations in the CARL. Since convenience sampling is non-probabilistic, […]

The Catfish Study in Cumbria
Note from FAN: Because of what we learned from the results of the studies by Bashash et al. (2017) and Thomas et al. (2018) the most appropriate category for the Catfish study in NW England, is human experimentation. The study began in 2014 and is still ongoing. Bashash et al. (2017) reported that prenatal exposure […]

A Systems Approach to Remediating Human Exposure to Arsenic and Fluoride From Overexploited Aquifers.
2.3.6.IQ Suppression as Function of As and F Concentrations in Drinking Water This study focusses on the neurotoxic effect of As and F in child cognitive development as an example of one health and economic impact from exposure. The thresholds at which negative health effects occur and the shape of the dose-response curve for a […]

Inorganic fluoride and functions of brain.
Note from the Fluoride Action Network: It’s worth noting that this review paper did not include these important Mother-Offspring studies: Bashash-2017, Valdez-Jimenez-2017, Green-2019. Nor did it include the ADHD study by Bashash-2018. Perhaps it was too late for the authors to have included the Green IQ study published in August 2019, the Riddell -October 2019 […]
