Fluoride Studies funded by the U.S. Government
The human studies funded by U.S. government agencies (Bashash 2017, Green 2019 and Till 2020) reveal that in fluoridated communities the fetus and the formula-fed infant are the most vulnerable to fluoride’s neurotoxicity. Certain high levels of fluoride in the pregnant women’s urine were found to significantly impact the IQ, or neurodevelopment, of the offspring. […]

Fluoride studies that received NIDCR funding
In 1998, the National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) was renamed the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) “The ADA [American Dental Association] sponsored the bill to create the National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR)… This institute would become credited with motivating 17 countries to fluoridate their water, for training hundreds of foreign […]

Fluoride’s Effect on the Newborn and Infant Brain
Mother-Offspring Studies of Newborns and Infants The studies below are both from China and both compare the infants of mothers living in high fluoride areas (fluorosis endemic areas) to mothers living outside of this category. They were published in 2004 and 2017. Both studies tested for variations of neurobehavioral development and both studies reported significantly […]

Introduction to the 69 IQ Studies
Overview As of June 2021, a total of 77 studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence, and over 60 studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and learning/memory in animals. Of these investigations, 69 studies have found that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ in humans, while over 60 animal […]

Fluoride & IQ: The 9 “No Effect” Studies
While 74 studies have found an association between fluoride and IQ, the following eight studies did not find this association. The 74 studies were based on IQ/cognitive examinations of 27,174 children (71 studies) and 689 adults (3 studies). The following 9 studies,which did not find an association between exposure to fluoride and lowered IQ, included 4,363 […]

The Iowa Fluoride Study: Fluoride, Teeth, and Developing Bone
In the early 1990s, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a large grant to University of Iowa researchers to investigate the relationship between total daily fluoride intake (from all sources) and several health outcomes of interest, namely: tooth decay, dental fluorosis, and bone health. Known as the “Iowa Fluoride Study,” the researchers monitored the fluoride […]
