“Fluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury, and other poisons that cause chemical brain drain. The effect of each toxicant may seem small, but the combined damage on a population scale can be serious, especially because the brain power of the next generation is crucial to all of us.”
– Philippe Grandjean, Adjunct Professor of Environmental Health, Harvard University
Conclusion of Harvard Study:
The results support the possibility of an adverse effect of high fluoride exposure on children’s neurodevelopment. Future research should include detailed individual-level information on prenatal exposure, neurobehavioral performance, and covariates for adjustment.
Pottstown, PA and Santa Fe, NM are two of the most recent cities to stop fluoridating the water.
