  • Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity?

    A recently-published Harvard University meta-analyses of 27 studies published over 22 years has concluded that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have “significantly lower” IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses also indicated inverse association between high fluoride exposure and children’s intelligence…

    The ADA’s official position has been that “Studies conducted throughout the past 65 years have consistently shown that fluoridation of community water supplies is safe and effective in preventing dental decay in both children and adults.”

    Teeth in a hurry has reached out to the ADA for comments.
