A Threat to Brain Health

To knowingly and unnecessarily expose fetuses, babies and children to increased levels of a developmental neurotoxin is inexcusable.  Yet this is what the Region of Peel is doing every single day.

World expert on lead now warns of fluoride’s neurotoxicity

National Research Council (2006): Fluoride has the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain and the body by direct and indirect means.”

National Scientific Council on the Developing Child (2009): It’s not just about dose. Most important is “the timing during the developmental process… The immature nervous system of an embryo or fetus is even more vulnerable to toxic exposures than is that of an infant.”

EPA Neurotoxicology Division (2009): A team of researchers found “substantial evidence” that fluoride is a developmental neurotoxicant in the same category with alcohol, arsenic, bisphenol A, lead, mercury, and nicotine.  (Supplementary link)

Dr. Philippe Grandjean, Chair of Environmental Medicine at the University of Southern Denmark and Adjunct Professor of Environmental Health at Harvard School of Public Health (2014): Prevention of chemical brain drain should be considered at least as important as protection against caries.

300+ Brain StudiesSlide1

Fluoride’s ability to damage the brain is one of the most active areas of fluoride research today. Over 300 studies have found that fluoride is a neurotoxin (a chemical that can damage the brain).

Study: Fluoride levels in pregnant women in Canada show drinking water is primary source of exposure to fluoride

Note that the mean urinary fluoride levels for the fluoridated Canadian women (in the study above) were almost identical to those in the Mexican studies (Bashash et al) (0.91 versus 0.87 ppm).

Michael Connett, Fluoride & The Brain

2014: Attorney Michael Connett gave a detailed presentation on fluoride’s effect on the the brain at the 2014 Fluoride Action Network Conference. According to long-time EPA risk assessment scientist, Dr. William Hirzy, Michael knows more about this topic than any scientist at the EPA today.  Note that the evidence has continued to mount since the time of this talk.

Pregnancy and Fluoride Do Not Mix  pregnancy book

The book Pregnancy and Fluoride Do Not Mix by John MacArthur is essential for all decision-makers, care-givers and future parents.  No one with integrity who reads this book can vote for or support the fluoridation of public drinking water.

Click here for free access to the book’s chapters and further information.

As John points out, if a pregnant mother follows the Institute of Medicine’s bizarre advice, a 3rd-trimester fetus’s daily fluoride dosage can be comparable to that of a 5-year old who swallows 3 times the “call poison control” safety threshold for fluoridated toothpaste (in terms of milligram of fluoride per kilogram of body weight): http://pregnancyandfluoridedonotmix.com/FDAfetalfluoridewarning.html

[Or, if she drinks 1.5 L of Peel’s fluoridated tap water (containing on average 1 mg fluoride), the fetus can receive a dosage equivalent to the 5 year old’s “call poison control” threshold.]

Further, we learn that the CDC’s only reference to fetuses in regard to fluoride is the following: “Use of fluoride supplements by pregnant women does not benefit their offspring.”  And, the CDC “failed to report the association between fluoridated water and premature birth, even though the agency has stated that preterm birth is “the leading cause of long-term neurological disabilities in children.”” http://pregnancyandfluoridedonotmix.com/CDCfetalfluorideUL.html
