\n To date, there are at least 53 known
\ninternational scientific studies concluding that fluoride consumption is harmful to
\nthe development of intelligence in children, it impairs their learning and memory
\ncapacity. Children are commonly exposed to fluoride from municipal water supplies,
\ndental treatments, environmental pollution, and in-utero.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Municipal water fluoridation is a state-mandated
\npharmacological intervention that ostensibly aims to fight dental fluorosis, but
\nthis claim is highly contested, and a growing body of research indicates that water
\nfluoridation is linked to lower IQ in children. Medication without consent is a
\nhuman rights violation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In 2017, former EPA senior scientist, William
\nHirzy, PhD noted:
\n “The significance of this peer reviewed
\nrisk analysis is that it indicates there may be no actual safe level of exposure to
\nfluoride. Groups of children with lower exposures to fluoride were compared with
\ngroups having higher exposures. Those with higher exposures performed more poorly on
\nIQ tests than those with lower exposures.” William Hirzy, PhD<\/p>\n

\nconclusions from these studies, as documented by The Fluoride Action Network<\/a>, where a full breakdown on these
\nstudies, as well as comments about study methodologies and locations, may be
\nfound.<\/p>\n
\nfluoride in water was observed to be associated with lower intelligence
\nquotient.” IQ Study #41: Nagarajappa<\/a>
\n(2013)<\/p>\n
\nhigher than normal water fluoride level demonstrated more impaired development of
\nintelligence when compared to school children residing in areas with normal and low
\nwater fluoride levels.” IQ Study #47: Sebastian<\/a>
\n(2015)<\/p>\n
\nhigher than normal water fluoride level demonstrated more impaired development of
\nintelligence and moderate [dental fluorosis]. Millions of children including adults
\naround the world are affected by higher level of fluoride concentration through
\ntheir drinking water and are therefore potentially at risk. It is concluded that for
\nthe benefit of the future generation, urgent attention should be paid on this
\nsubstantial public health problem.” IQ Study #50: Das<\/a> (2016)<\/p>\n
\nIQ than students of non-contaminated area, demonstrating that consumption of F also
\nhas a major role with the intellectual development of children.” IQ Study
\n#49: Mondal<\/a> (2016)<\/p>\n
\nsupport the hypothesis that excess fluoride in drinking water has toxic effects on
\nthe nervous system.” IQ Study #48: Khan<\/a> (2015)<\/p>\n
\nsignificantly related with the IQ of children. Along with fluoride, mother’s
\ndiet during pregnancy was also found to be significantly related with IQ of
\nchildren.” IQ Study #46: Kundu<\/a>
\n(2015)<\/p>\n
\nconcern about the safety of elevated systemic exposure to fluoride from high
\nconcentrations in the drinking water. While topical fluoride treatment confers
\nbenefits of reducing caries incidence, the systemic exposure should not be so high
\nas to impair children’s neurodevelopment especially during the highly
\nvulnerable windows of brain development in utero and during infancy and childhood
\nand may result in permanent brain injury.” IQ Study #45: Choi<\/a> (2015)<\/p>\n
\ndeleterious to the development of intelligence and the development of growth in
\nchildren” IQ Study #43: Bai<\/a> (2014)<\/p>\n
\n[the high fluoride area] which may be directly correlate[d] with the reduced
\nintelligence score of the subjects.” IQ Study #40: Singh<\/a>
\n(2013)<\/p>\n
\nin a region with a high drinking water F level had lower IQs compared to children
\nliving in a low drinking water F region (p<0.001). The differences could not be
\nattributed to confounding educational, economic, social, cultural, and general
\ndemographic factors.” Karimzade<\/a>
\n(2014)<\/p>\n
\nfluoride is associated with reduced intelligence in children.” IQ Study
\n#36: Saxena<\/a> (2012)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nthat low levels of fluoride exposure in drinking water had negative effects on
\nchildren’s intelligence and dental health and confirmed the dose-response
\nrelationships between urine fluoride and IQ scores as well as dental
\nfluorosis.” IQ Study #35: Ding<\/a> (2011)<\/p>\n
\nexposure to high levels of fluoride can be one of the factors that influence
\nintellectual development.” IQ Study #34: Poureslami<\/a>
\n(2011)<\/p>\n
\ndecreased Intelligence in children exposed to high levels of fluoride and our study
\nalso confirmed such an effect.” IQ Study #32: Shivaprakash<\/a>
\n(2011)<\/p>\n
\noverall IQ levels in children’s exposed to high fluoride level were
\nsignificantly lower than the low fluoride areas.” IQ Study #31: Sudhir<\/a>
\n(2009)<\/p>\n
\ndefinitely has an adverse effect on the development of intelligence in children, in
\nparticular on the capability of abstract inference.” IQ Study #30: Li<\/a> (2009)<\/p>\n
\nfluoride in drinking water is associated with neurotoxic effects in
\nchildren.” IQ Study #28: Wang<\/a> (2007)<\/p>\n
\nelsewhere, these findings indicate that children drinking high F water are at risk
\nfor impaired development of intelligence.” IQ Study #27: Trivedi<\/a> (2007)<\/p>\n
\nlikely to cause a certain level of harm to a child’s level of
\nintelligence.” IQ Study #26: Fan<\/a> (2007)<\/p>\n
\nexposure of children to high levels of fluoride may carry the risk of impaired
\ndevelopment of intelligence.” IQ Study #25: Seraj<\/a>
\n(2006)<\/p>\n
\neffect on the intellectual and physical development of children.” IQ
\nStudy #24: Wang<\/a> (2005)<\/p>\n
\nreplicate those of earlier studies and suggest that a real relationship exists
\nbetween fluoride exposure and intelligence.” IQ Study #18: Lu<\/a> (2000)<\/p>\n
\nimprovement and defluoridation can improve the mental and physical development of
\nchildren in a fluorosis area.\u02ee IQ Study #16: Yao<\/a> (1997)<\/p>\n
\nshow that a high level of fluoride influences children’s IQ, which is
\nconsistent with some previous data. It is worth mentioning that the higher the
\ndegree of dental fluorosis, the more negative the impact on the children’s
\nintelligence level. This is an issue which merits utmost attention.” IQ
\nStudy #15: Yao<\/a> (1996)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nintake has a clear influence on the IQ of preschool children, manifesting itself
\nprimarily as damage to performance intelligence.” IQ Study #13: Wang<\/a> (1996)<\/p>\n
\nwith a lower intelligence.” IQ Study #11: Li<\/a> (1995)<\/p>\n
\nintelligence of primary and secondary students from the high fluoride area and that
\nof primary and secondary students from the non-high fluoride area had very
\nsignificant differences, proving that high fluoride has adverse effects on the
\nmental development of students. The higher the water fluoride is, the lower the
\nlevel of IQ.” IQ Study #7: An<\/a> (1992)<\/p>\n
\nthat there is significant difference between the intellectual ability of the
\n7–14 year old children from the [fluorosis] endemic area and those of the
\ncontrol, and moreover that the average IQ of the children from the endemic area is
\nclearly lower.” IQ Study #4: Chen<\/a> (1991)<\/p>\n
