Long characterized as a “conspiracy theory” by mainstream media, medical officials, and political officials, a bombshell report published earlier this month by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has found that excessive fluoride consumption has been linked to a two to five-point IQ reduction in kids.
“The determination about lower IQs in children was based primarily on …. exposure amounts higher than 1.5 mg fluoride/L of drinking water,” the study found. “The U.S. Public Health Service currently recommends 0.7 mg/L, and the World Health Organization has set a safe limit for fluoride in drinking water of 1.5 mg/L. The NTP found no evidence that fluoride exposure had adverse effects on adult cognition.”
The startling admission, made by the National Toxicology Program after eight years of study, was based on previously available data collected by researching pregnant women and infants in Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico. The HHS presented its findings “with moderate confidence.”
According to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), out of the 196 nations in the world, only 24 have any fluoridation, and only 10, like the U.S., for more than half their population.
“Over 95% of the world’s population is fluoridation-free. The U.S. fluoridates as many people as the rest of the world combined,” the FAN says.
The first American city to inject fluoride into its water supply was Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1945. The industrial compound is touted by dentists and government-run agencies like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a beneficial tool against cavities and tooth decay.
At the same time, health freedom advocates have long warned that there is ample evidence that shows it is actually a neurotoxin that stunts development in children. Political commentator Michael Savage argued as much in an X post.
Stuart Cooper, who serves as the director of the Fluoride Action Network, said in a press release that the HHS report is a “historic day for those who have warned about fluoridation’s obvious risks for more than 75 years. This report, along with the large body of published science, makes it abundantly clear that the question isn’t whether fluoridation is safe, but instead how many children have been needlessly harmed.”
