UK Against Fluoridation: F.A.N. Newsletter

You're going to want to save this email!

The evidence of neurotoxic harm from water fluoridation has been mounting at an unprecedented rate in recent years, and has quickly become the most urgent reason to end the practice as soon as possible. A cavity can easily be filled, but damage to a child's brain is permanent. While FAN is taking the lead at the federal and state level, and helping campaigners at the local level to educate decision-makers and public health officials, we need your help to spread this educational campaign to every community, including yours. To make the task easier, we have created a number of new educational materials.

Review of Fluoride and Neurotoxicity

FAN's Managing Director, Ellen Connett, has created a comprehensive

We have also updated our handout on neurotoxicity, providing both a

Thanks to volunteer Rick North, we also have a handout that can be used anytime proponents of fluoridation attack FAN's scientific credibility or our data at hearings, on social media, or in online news article comment sections. It's a side-by-side breakdown of the neurotoxicity studies that are cited on FAN's website versus those of the Centers for Disease Control And Prevention, American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American Fluoridation Society. While they may claim FAN and our supporters cherry-pick studies, this proves that they are the ones hiding research from their supporters and selectively choosing what to share while we thoroughly review all of the science.

Neurotoxicity Powerpoint Presentation

FAN's Research Director, Chris Neurath, has released This powerpoint is also available with notes that will be helpful to the presenter.

Many studies have reported that fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ and there are now two strong studies (Bashash 2018 and Riddell 2019) finding an association between water fluoridation and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). This powerpoint presentation gives an overview of the evidence and highlights eleven of the strongest studies, including several of the Mother-Offspring studies. The 2019 draft National Toxicology Program Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects is also explained.

Now you have a tool to aid you in providing presentations or testimony on fluoride's neurotoxicity.

Video Series: Game Changing Studies

During Paul Connett, PhD's recent speaking and campaign tour in Australia just prior to the coronavirus outbreak, our friends at Fluoride Free Australia filmed one of his presentations on the four game-changing studies showing fluoridation's neurotoxicity. While you can watch the full presentation using the link below, our Education and Outreach Director, Jay Sanders, has created four short videos highlighting each of the 4 key studies. This shorter format should aid in making the content easier to share on social media and easier for local authorities to digest incrementally.

Game-Changing Study #1: Bashash 2017
Game-Changing Study #2: Green 2019
Game-Changing Study #3: Riddell 2019
Game-Changing Study #4: Till 2020
