Controversy: The Evolving Science of Fluoride: When New Evidence Doesn’t Conform With Existing Beliefs

Over the past 75 years, health authorities have declared that community water fluoridation -a practice that reaches over 400 million worldwide -is safe. Yet, studies conducted in North America examining the safety of fluoride exposure in pregnancy were nonexistent. When a Canadian study reported that higher fluoride exposure in pregnant women was associated with lower IQ scores in young children, critics attacked the methodology of the study and discounted the significance of the results.
