Anemia in pregnancy: an easily rectifiable problem.
Although anemia (low hemoglobin) can be due to many different causes such as parasites, urinary tract infection, and malaria, in fact poor nutrition and excessive ingestion of a toxic agent like fluoride (F–) are probably more frequent causes in many countries and are often overlooked and neglected. In the case of pregnancy, iron deficiency is […]

Prenatal and postnatal ingestion of fluoride salts: a progress report.
Undesirable Effects Out of the 601 cases in the adult group, six have shown undesirable side effects from the fluoride supplement. Five out of the 495 children have presented evidence of undesirable reactions. This is 1 per cent incidence of side effects.

Assessment of iodine status in children, adults, pregnant women and lactating women in iodine-replete areas of China
Fluoride, a goitrogenic substance in drinking water, is another contributing factor to high GP. The fluoride concentration of drinking water was as high as 1.00 mg/kg in Chongqing municipality, which led Chongqing to have the highest GP (18.37%, 18 of 98) amongst all study areas.

Neurotransmitter and receptor changes in the brains of fetuses from areas of endemic fluorosis.
The mothers of the ten fetuses that formed the subject group for this study all had dental fluorosis, with a corresponding increase in urinary fluoride, indicating that these pregnant women were suffering from chronic fluoride poisoning. The excess fluoride of the mother was passed through the placental barrier into the fetus, and from there through […]
