By Ellen Connett The earliest studies on the brain were reported by Kaj Roholm in his 1937 treatise Fluorine Intoxication. H. Trendley Dean, the father of fluoridation, called the treatise “the outstanding contribution to the literature of fluorine” in a 1938 review. Roholm noted that “Free fluorine plays no part in toxicology, as it immediately […]

NTP 2015-2017: Genesis of involvement in fluoride’s neurotoxicity
In 2015, the NTP solicited a request for information in the Federal Register on October 7 on fluoride’s Carcinogenicity, Developmental Neurotoxicity and Endocrine Disruption. The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) submitted comments (see below) and the NTP made the decision to investigate fluoride’s neurotoxicity. On December 2, 2015, an Evaluation of Fluoride Exposure and Potential for […]
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This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed.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 […]
