  • NZ: Letter. Ignorant or timid? By Connett and Howard

    Any scientist or educator who has followed the science of fluoride’s toxicity, especially its potential to damage the developing brain must be stunned to hear that the New Zealand government is set to introduce mandatory water fluoridation into the whole country.

  • New Zealand Threatened With Fluoridation Mandate

    New Zealand politicians and bureaucrats are exploiting the COVID pandemic to push for centralization of public health decisions.

  • Several maternal fluoride-offspring IQ studies should provoke moratorium on fluoridation

    Critics of the fluoride-IQ study published this month in JAMA Pediatrics claimed it needed replication. However, the Canadian study by Green (2019) was already a replication of another U.S. government-funded study published in 2017 by Bashash which found similar effects, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Both were Mother-Offspring studies that used urinary fluoride levels […]
