NTP STUDY: “FLUORIDE IS PRESUMED TO BE A COGNITIVE NEURODEVELOPMENTAL HAZARD TO HUMANS”
The Fluoride Action Network has published the press release below. Please email the PR Newswire version of our release to you local decision makers and the news editors of the media outlets in your community, large and small (newspaper, radio, TV, online).
On Oct 22, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) published a draft review of fluoride’s neurotoxicity concluding:
“…Fluoride is presumed to be a cognitive neurodevelopmental hazard to humans. This conclusion is based on a consistent pattern of findings in human studies across several different populations showing that higher fluoride exposure is associated with decreased IQ or other cognitive impairments in children.”
For years the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) has been drawing attention to fluoride’s neurotoxicity. There are 61 human IQ studies linking lowered IQ with fluoride exposure, many of which FAN had translated from the original Chinese.

FAN disagrees with NTP’s conclusion that studies “with [fluoride] exposures in ranges typically found in the water distribution systems in the United States (i.e., approximately 0.03 to 1.5 ppm) …are inconsistent and therefore unclear (our emphasis).”
FAN’s director Paul Connett, PhD, says, “the studies funded by US government agencies (Bashash et al. 2017, 2018; Green et al., 2019) were at exposure levels commonly experienced with fluoride water concentrations below 1.5 ppm, and are consistent, very clear and stronger than the earlier Chinese studies at levels above 1.5 ppm (Choi et al, 2012) because they were based on individual exposures, with many confounding variables carefully controlled. In reality, it is the studies with lower fluoride levels of exposure that have provided the strongest evidence.”
Connett continued, “We hope that, when the National Academy of Sciences completes its peer review, NTP will raise the classification of fluoride to a ‘known‘ from ‘presumed’ neurodevelopmental hazard to humans. Whether they do or not, the weight of scientific evidence in the NTP review should be sufficient to force an end to fluoridation.”
Dr. William Hirzy, former Environmental Protection Agency risk assessment specialist, says, “Damage at a concentration of 1.5 ppm in water offers no meaningful margin of safety to protect the brains of a whole population of infants drinking fluoridated water at 0.7 ppm. Without going into detailed calculations of total dose, a safety factor of ten (to account for the expected range of sensitivity in a large populations), would reduce the allowed level in water to less than 0.1 ppm in water.”
Connett asks, “How can anyone now claim that community water fluoridation is safe? And why allow it to continue when safer and more effective programs (e.g., Childsmile) exist?”
Fluoride is a poison. Fluoride was poison yesterday. Fluoride is poison today. Fluoride will be poison tomorrow. We have been lied to our entire life by a corporation intent on profit at our expense. The lying is not going to stop any time soon so doing your own research is a must. When in doubt get it out.
ReplyDeleteDose makes the poison. Show us who in Templeton has been harmed, sickened or injured by fluoride in the drinking water. Show us conclusive evidence of a scientific correlation between fluoride and the alleged dangers you people push on the public.
ReplyDeleteI have found that the dose does not always make the poison, two examples are nano aluminum and EDC's. Fluoride is bioaccumulative so you are correct in my opinion on fluoride and dose. Doctor Burk who worked along side Otto Warburg two time Noble Prize winner would be a much better person to check on as far as the toxicity of fluoride he is right on youtube here is the link if you are truly interested Burk
ReplyDeleteThe rates of dental fluorosis have gone sky high since the fluoride epidemic started in 1945. It was estimated that only 10% of the children would have this problem but as usual because fluoride is now everywhere it is our of control. This should satisfy the "harmed" question asked in your comment. The above comment should satisfy the sickened and injured. Let's not forget the association with arthritis and thyroid problems. The list goes on and on. Just looking at the history covered in The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson should open your eyes a little. Don't stop there as many books have covered this fraud. If time permits I will introduce you and the town to these books on facebook. Stay tuned.
