Remarkably, the studies demonstrating that fluoride has a dampening effect upon
intelligence have come from varied sources, including Harvard University. The most recent
study I have seen published is as recent as this summer (2012).

Harvard Study Finds Fluoride Lowers IQ - Published in Federal Gov't Journal
NEW YORK, July 24, 2012

Harvard University researchers' review of fluoride/brain studies concludes "our results
support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children's
neurodevelopment." It was published online July 20 in Environmental Health
Perspectives, a US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' journal (1),
reports the NYS Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc. (NYSCOF)

"The children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than those
who lived in low fluoride areas," write Choi et al.

Further, the EPA says fluoride is a chemical "with substantial evidence of
developmental neurotoxicity..."

They point out research by Ding (2011) suggested that low water fluoride levels had
significant negative associations with children's intelligence...

"It's senseless to keep subjecting our children to this ongoing fluoridation experiment to
satisfy the political agenda of special-interest groups," says attorney Paul Beeber,
NYSCOF President. "Even if fluoridation reduced cavities, is tooth health more important
than brain health? It's time to put politics aside and stop artificial fluoridation
everywhere," says Beeber.

After reviewing fluoride toxicological data, the NRC reported in 2006, "It's apparent that
fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain."

Choi's team writes, "Fluoride readily crosses the placenta. Fluoride exposure to the
developing brain, which is much more susceptible to injury caused by toxicants than is the
mature brain, may possibly lead to damage of a permanent nature."

Fluoride accumulates in the body. Even low doses are harmful to babies, the thyroid,
kidney patients and heavy water-drinkers. There are even doubts about fluoridation's
effectiveness. New York City Legislation is pending to stop fluoridation. Many
communities have already stopped.

Infant formula when mixed with fluoridated water delivers 100-200 times more fluoride
than breastmilk.

The Natural News website posted an article in 2010 about an earlier study that was
performed in China that showed a marked difference in children’s IQ among test groups
