Fluoride in water studies international in scope and constantly updated
Fluoride in water studies international in scope and constantly updated

Some city councillors have recently indicated they want more Canadian studies. Let’s clarify something. There is no such thing as “Canadian,” “American” or “Pakistani” science. Most investigative science involves several scientists, working as a team on a common problem; for example, Dr. Paul Connett and Dr. Hardy Limeback.
Dr. Paul Connett, BA (Hon), Cambridge Univ., 1962; Ph D Chemistry, Dartmouth College, NH, 1983; tenured, full professor, St. Lawrence University, Canton, N.Y. Now retired, he heads up the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), which boosts an international coalition of 1,991 dentists, environmentalists, scientists and doctors who seek to abolish fluoride in the public drinking supply. The group suggests that when fluoride is ingested, the chemical lowers IQ in children and can cause damage to developing brains and teeth. Studies also state long-term exposure and damage to bones and is linked to bladder cancer. His web site: www.FluorideAlert.org
Dr. Harvey Limeback, B Sc, Ph D, DDS, Associate Professor & Head, Preventive Dentistry, University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus. He recently hosted the 17th Conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research. Topic: Fluoride - Bone and Brain Effects, Aug. 7-11, 2008, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Limeback has said: “Children under three should never use fluoridated toothpaste. Or drink fluoridated water. And baby formula must never be made up using Toronto tap water. Never.”
Dr. Limeback’s web site: www.utoronto.ca/dentistry/facultyresearch.
Dr. Connett and Dr. Limeback together did a study entitled “Fluoride and its effect on human intelligence.” A System Review. International Association for Dental Research, 83rd General Session and Exhibition, Toronto, July 4, 2008.
In summer of 2008, the following report reviewed the published studies indicating an association of high fluoride exposure and reduced IQ (particularly in children). The fluoride levels in water in this study range from 0.088 - 0.094 ppm.
A similar study, conducted by five Chinese epidemiologists, the Tang et al, was entitled: Fluoride and Children’s Intelligence, Aug. 10, 2008. This information was found on the Fluoride Action Network.
These two groups will without a doubt consult with each other to determine the salient points of these 23 published studies report on Fluoride/Human IQ Studies. So the consultation process is necessarily international in scope. As new evidence becomes available, teams will evaluate it, and update the new material. It’s a never-ending process whereby evaluating teams strive to keep up with the latest studies.
