• Four Studies That Show Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water Unnecessarily Endangers Children’s Brains

  Dr. Paul Connett, PhD, director of FAN, says of the scientific evidence: “As of 2020 there have been 72 fluoride-IQ studies, of which 64 found a lower IQ among children with higher fluoride exposure. Many of the earlier studies were in places with elevated natural fluoride levels. There is now very strong evidence that fluoride damages both […]

• Several In Utero Fluoride/IQ Studies Should Provoke A Nation-Wide Fluoridation Moratorium

  NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Critics of the fluoride-IQ study published this month in JAMA Pediatrics claimed it needed replication. However, the Canadian study by Green (2019) was already a replication of another U.S. government-funded study published in 2017 by Bashash which found similar effects, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Both were Mother-Offspring studies […]

• Canadian Mother-Offspring IQ Study: MedPage Today – interview with lead author.

  Video interview with Rivka Green, lead author of the new Canadian IQ study The safety of water fluoridation has been debated for decades. A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics added new information to this debate by demonstrating that higher fluoride intake during pregnancy was associated with lower IQ scores in boys. In this exclusive […]

• Criticisms of Recent JAMA Fluoride/IQ Study Are Unfounded

    FAN PRESS RELEASE AUGUST 21: A newly published carefully-researched and meticulously peer-reviewed US government-funded study published in JAMA Pediatrics reports maternal fluoride levels are linked to offspring’s lower IQ. But the same day the study was released, many fluoridation proponents erroneously dismissed it, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Above Video: Paul Connett Responds to Criticisms of the […]

• A Benchmark Dose Analysis for Maternal Pregnancy Urine-Fluoride and IQ in Children.

  This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice. Abstract As a safe exposure level for fluoride in pregnancy has not been established, we used data from two prospective studies for benchmark dose […]
