• Battery’s hidden layer revealed

  The reaction mechanism for converting hydrogen fluoride (HF) impurity from the electrolyte into lithium fluoride (LiF) in the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) with release of hydrogen gas (H2). The SEI layer is shown on a substrate of gold (Au) atoms, which serves as a simplified model system. Scientists determined this mechanism using advanced computational methods (density […]

• Houston council hears opinions on fluoridation

  It had all the trappings of a debate on a national stage: The country’s foremost critic of fluoridation and representatives of the national organization that promotes its use with a local medical community that has seen its benefits. And it all happened in Houston, Mo., on a Monday night with the Houston City Council looking […]

• Pregnant women’s fluoride exposure linked to lower IQ in babies, study shows

  Pregnant women’s fluoride exposure is linked to lower IQ in their children at one- to three-years-old, according to a study published in Occupational & Environmental Medicine (2018), and at levels commonly found in U.S. women, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Researchers, Thomas et al., found that, for every increase of 1 milligram per liter […]

• Why do we have fluoride in our water?

  Fluoride is found naturally in soil, water, and foods. It is also produced synthetically for use in drinking water, toothpaste, mouthwashes and various chemical products. Water authorities add fluoride to the municipal water supply, because studies have shown that adding it in areas where fluoride levels in the water are low can reduce the prevalence […]

• Help Spread the Word

  Drinking fluoridated water is the major source of exposure to fluoride for most people, as well as using water to prepare beverages and food, such as infant formula, soups, pasta, rice, coffee, and tea. Despite the U.S. government funding research linking fluoride exposure during pregnancy to lower IQ in children, health agencies and public water […]

• IQ Loss: Economic cost to society

  By Paul Connett Director, Fluoride Action Network In a nation besieged by neurological disorders both in young children and the elderly, minimizing exposures to known neurotoxic substances should be a public health priority. Based on the first-ever “mother-offspring” studies funded by three U.S. government agencies (National Institutes of Heath, Environmental Protection Agency and the National […]

• No Evidence for Fluoridated Water to Result in Less Cavities

  Two-thirds of Americans drink tap water that has added fluoride. Unlike other chemicals added to water, which are intended to treat the water itself, fluoride is intended to treat the people who drink the water, whether they want the treatment or not. As the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) puts it, “Fluoridating water supplies can thus […]

• What Water Should I Drink?

  A pregnant woman shouldn’t drink a substance that has the potential to harm the brain of her fetus. Based on the first-ever “mother-offspring” studies released in 2017 and 2018 and funded by three U.S. government agencies (NIH, EPA, NIEHS*) the critical period of exposure to fluoride as far as neurological damage is concerned was during […]

• Dr. Bill Osmunson on Fluoride

  Dr. Bill Osmunson is an avid supporter of fluoride opposition in the US. He’s particularly suited to discuss the health dangers of fluoride, not just because he’s been a full-time dentist for over three decades, but also because he has a Masters in Public Health (MPH). He’s also a missionary kid. His parents were missionaries in […]

• Help us persuade the city to get the fluoride out of Durango’s water

  The fluoride we add to Durango’s water supply, is Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFSA) and is not natural by any means. It is the filtered waste gathered from the smoke stacks in the industrial production of fertilizer, containing trace amounts of arsenic, mercury and lead. HFSA is not the pharmaceutical grade fluoride that any studies have ever […]
