Abstract

The relationship between duration of exposure to fluoridated public water supplies and measures of child health and behaviour was studied for a birth cohort of Christchurch children. This study showed no association between exposure to fluoridated water and a large range of measures of child health and behaviour taken during the period from birth to seven years, even when the possible effects of family social background were taken into account statistically.

  • Effects of black tea in mitigation of sodium fluoride potency to suppress motor activity and coordination in laboratory rats

    The present study was designed to assess the potential impact of Na-F alone or in conjugation with black tea on motor function and coordination performance in laboratory rats. An array of behavioural motor tasks, viz., open field, plank walking and rod walking tests were employed in our study in order

  • Aspects of nervous system affections in occupational fluorosis.

    Neurological symptomatology in the form of the syndrome of vegetative-vascular dysfunction, or the asthenovegetative syndrome with polyneuritic (sensory and vegetative) disorders was detected in 78.8% of patients with occupational fluorosis in preosteal and osteal stages. Clinical and physiological investigations of the nervous system (psycho-physiological procedures, EEG, chronaximetry) showed patients with

  • Water treatment with silicofluorides and lead toxicity

    Toxic metals like lead, manganese, copper and cadmium damage neurons and deregulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine (which are essential to normal impulse control and learning). Earlier studies show that - controlling for socio-economic and demographic factors - environmental pollution with lead is a highly significant risk factor in predicting

  • 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

    An association between elevated fluoride exposure and reduced intelligence has now been observed in 65 IQ studies. Although a link between fluoride and intelligence might initially seem surprising or random, it is actually consistent with a large body of animal research. This animal research includes the following 45 studies (out

    The possibility that fluoride ingestion may impair intelligence and other indices of neurological function is supported by a vast body of animal research, including over 40 studies that have investigated fluoride's effects on brain quality in animals. As discussed by the National Research Council, the studies have consistently demonstrated that fluoride, at widely varying concentrations, is toxic to the brain.
