U.S. Report: High Fluoride Levels Linked to 2-5 Point IQ Drop in Children
Aug 22, 2024, 12:23 AM
A recent U.S. government report has linked fluoride concentrations in drinking water that exceed the recommended public health guidelines to lower IQ levels in children. The report, published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, indicates that fluoride levels at twice the recommended limit can result in a 2-5 point drop in IQ among children. This finding is based on a National Toxicology Program review, which compares fluoride's neurotoxic effects to those of lead. The report is expected to stir debate as it challenges previous assertions by health authorities about the safety of fluoride in water.
