  • 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 […]

  • New Deposition Videos Featuring CDC Oral Health Director

    If you could ask representatives of the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) about the safety and efficacy of fluoridation under oath, what would you ask them? Our lawyers had that opportunity during depositions for our TSCA case in federal court, and today we will reveal two new video clips featuring the CDC’s Oral […]

  • Artificial Fluoridation Damaging Children’s Developing Brains: An Analysis of NTP Data

    Scientific Conference Presentation: Artificial Fluoridation Damaging Children’s Developing Brains: Analysis Of NTP Data MAIN FINDINGS: “High-quality studies of fluoride neurotoxicity are remarkably consistent in finding statistically significant adverse effects at exposure levels of artificial fluoridation.”  “Dose-response analyses show adverse effects likely at exposures as low as 0.3 mg/L or lower.” Last month, FAN’s Research Director, […]

  • Studies of Fluoride Supplements: No Evidence of Safety – No Benefit Either

    According to the Cochrane Oral Health Group, fluoride supplements fail to reduce tooth decay in primary teeth, permanent teeth cavity-reduction is dubious and health risks are little studied (1). Further, “When fluoride supplements were compared with topical fluorides or with other preventive measures, there was no differential effect on permanent or deciduous teeth,” write Cochrane […]

  • Fluoride: lowering IQ’s?

    ••• Note from FAN: This undated article was published online close to May 1, 2008 ••• New studies from China show that an excessive intake of fluoride can accumulate in the brain, permanently reducing a child’s intelligence. Two suburban villages in Shanxi Province in China are very much alike – except for the level of […]

  • Four Studies That Show Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water Unnecessarily Endangers Children’s Brains

    Dr. Paul Connett, PhD, director of FAN, says of the scientific evidence: “As of 2020 there have been 72 fluoride-IQ studies, of which 64 found a lower IQ among children with higher fluoride exposure. Many of the earlier studies were in places with elevated natural fluoride levels. There is now very strong evidence that fluoride damages both […]

  • Level of fluoride and arsenic in household shallow well water in Wamiao and Xinhuai villages in Jiangsu Province, China

  • Key Deposition Segments From The TSCA Fluoride Lawsuit – STK

    The Director of the CDC’s Oral Health Division, Casey Hannan, testifies that the CDC is unable to cite studies showing fluoride is effective when swallowed: Director Hannan admits that CDC is not aware of any evidence of fluoride’s benefit to infants. As you watch this, keep in mind that there are now 10 studies funded […]

  • Studies of relationships between the polymorphism of COMT gene and plasma proteomic profiling and children’s intelligence in high fluoride areas

    Fluoride (F) widely exists in environment with a significant increase in body burden accumulation in recent years. Internal exposure to F due to diet including food, water, fluoride-containing dental products like toothpaste and fluoride supplements, is extensively researched. Additionally, industrial pollution and coal burning have also been reported to be major sources of internal F […]
