Neurotoxicity of Fluoride While some research relates to the neurotoxic effects of fluoride in adults, recent focus has been on fluoride’s neurotoxicity to the developing brain, in infancy and even in utero. Concentration vs dose vs blood levels As much research is conducted on laboratory rats, it is important to understand the irrelevance of the…
Read detailsFluoridation and Heart Disease Research published in January 2012(1) concluded that there was a direct correlation between the fluoride level in arteries, including coronary arteries, and artherosclerosis, such that the scanning for the fluoride level could be used to diagnose the level of disease. It found a direct relationship between the fluoride level and the…
Read detailsJennifer Anne Luke, 1997. A dissertation submitted to the School of Biological Sciences, University of Surrey. (See study or more excerpts) Abstract: “The results from this study are important because the pineal gland is obviously a hitherto unrealized target for chronic fluoride-toxicity.” “Changes in plasma melatonin concentrations are serious functional disturbances because melatonin has many functions in…
While some research relates to the neurotoxic effects of fluoride in adults, recent focus has been on fluoride’s neurotoxicity to the developing brain, in infancy and even in utero. The most recent, and most important so far, is a study published in JAMA Pediatrics August 2019, Association Between Maternal Fluoride Exposure During Pregnancy and IQ Scores…
Confirmation of and explanations for elevated blood lead and other disorders in children exposed to water disinfection and fluoridation chemicals This paper includes detailed rebuttals to the following papers, which allege “virtually complete dissociation” of silicofluorides into harmless silica and fluoride compounds: Urbansky and Schock, 2000; Macek et al., 2006; Morris/Finney et al., 2006. Coplan…
Research published in January 2012(1) concluded that there was a direct correlation between the fluoride level in arteries, including coronary arteries, and artherosclerosis, such that the scanning for the fluoride level could be used to diagnose the level of disease. It found a direct relationship between the fluoride level and the patient’s history of heart…
No physician in his right senses would prescribe for someone he has never met, whose medical history he does not know, a substance which is intended to create bodily change, with the advice: ‘Take as much as you like, but you will take it for the rest of your life because some people say that…
Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility REPORT: In Harm’s Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development Chapter 6: Known and Suspected Developmental Neurotoxicants (full PDF) Fluoride Since the 1950’s, in many communities throughout the US and other areas of the world, fluoride has been added to community drinking water supplies with the intention of reducing tooth decay.…
Scientific Consensus Statement on Environmental Agents Associated with Neurodevelopmental Disorders In 2007, a Scientific Consensus Statement, developed by the Collaborative on Health and the Environment’s Learning and Developmental Disabilities Initiative (see panel of scientists) was issued, outlining the current understanding of links between environmental factors and developmental disabilities in children. Fluoride was discussed as a substance of…
Comments from NRC panel members Dr. Kathleen Theissen (risk analyst and senior scientist at SENES Oak Ridge): “The NRC committee put together a very thorough evaluation of fluoride exposure in the US, much of which would be applicable also for NZ. “The NRC committee said, unanimously, that 4 ppm (4 mg/L) of fluoride is not…
