[New researches on mongolism related to the disease producing role of fluorine].

A new statistical study on the distribution of mongolism in cities in Illinois, United States, from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 1956, permits us to verify an increasing frequency of this affliction associated with the concentration of fluorine in the drinking water. This study follows a preceding inquiry on the

Role des inhibiteurs enzymatiques dans l'etiologie du mongolisme

1) The low incidence of dental caries observed in mongoloid patients led to an investigation of the role of fluorine in this condition. 2) A statistical study of the geographical distribution of mongolism in Wisconsin, Illinois, Idaho, North and South Dakota (U.S.A.) shows a parallelism between the prevalence of this condition

Fluoride-linked down syndrome births and their estimated occurrence due to water fluoridation

Down syndrome (DS) birth rates (BR) as a function of maternal age exhibit a relatively flat linear regression line for younger mothers and a fairly steep one for older mothers with the second line intersecting the first line a little above maternal age 30. Consequently, overall DS-BR for all maternal

Editorial review: Fluoride and down's syndrome (mongolism)

Down syndrome, water fluoridation, and maternal age

It has been claimed that there is a positive association between the frequency of Down syndrome and the fluoridation of drinking water. It has also been suggested that this association is most pronounced in young women. Recent congenital malformations data obtained from birth certificates from large U.S. cities have been

Fluoride's Effect on Fetal Brain

The human placenta does not prevent the passage of fluoride from a pregnant mother's bloodstream to the fetus. As a result, a fetus can be harmed by fluoride ingested pregnancy. Based on research from China, the fetal brain is one of the organs susceptible to fluoride poisoning. As highlighted by the excerpts
