Bombshell government report says high levels of fluoride in water is linked to low IQ in children - as map reveals counties at risk

A recent report from the US government has found, "with moderate confidence," a link between children consuming higher-than-recommended levels of fluoride and lower intelligence quotient (IQ).
The addition of low levels of fluoride to drinking water has long been recognized as a major public health accomplishment. The presence of fluoride helps to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The addition of low levels of fluoride to drinking water has long been considered by many to be a public health accomplishment, as fluoride helps to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended a safe fluoride level of 1.5 mg/L in drinking water, which is higher than the federal health officials' recommended fluoridation level of 0.7 mg per liter of water.
The US Public Health Service recommends a fluoride concentration that is half the amount considered safe by the WHO. Several international epidemiological studies conducted in Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico on pregnant women, infants, and children exposed to fluoride levels over 1.5 mg per liter of drinking water revealed lower IQs. TheWhile authors propose additional research may be needed to better understand the potential risks linked to low levels of fluoride exposure, but some caution and concern are warranted whicharound cancurrent helpregulation setsurrounding the stagefluoridation forof better regulationwater.
The US has accumulated 50 years of data demonstrating the positive effects of fluoride. Often, the issue with these foreign research papers is that they exhibit significant bias., Theor use inadequate sample sizes are yet another concern.

There are numerous safeguards in theUS water systems to prevent excessive quantities of fluoride. Concern is unwarranted.
