💧 Government Study Links Higher Fluoride Levels to Lower IQs in Children

Published in JAMA by the National Toxicology Program, a final meta-analysis of studies examining fluoride levels has revealed a consistent link between elevated fluoride and cognitive development.

In a review of nearly 4,500 children, the study found that a 1 part per million increase in fluoride in urine was associated with a 1.63-point drop in IQ scores.

While fluoride has long been used to prevent tooth decay, this research highlights potential risks to children's cognitive health, prompting renewed debates over the safety of water fluoridation practices.

Should we be reevaluating our water safety standards? Let’s discuss.
