Fluoride Warning(NaturalHealth365) Approximately 30,000 calls to United States poison control centers concerning acute exposure to fluoride, in children, are made each year. Some researchers state that fluoride is safe while others state that it can be detrimental to health. As with vaccines, researchers will often look at just one factor – is it the mercury, is it the aluminum, but do not really take all the elements into account.
When looking at fluoride, researchers are widening their net to look not only at fluoride but also the impact of fluoride in combination with lead. According to the Illinois Department of Health, elevated lead levels impact one out of every six children under the age of seven – so this seems like a good link to study.
Major warning by researchers about the dangers of fluoride
Researchers from Harvard School of Public Health and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. The authors state that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.
The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores. Children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas..........
