Ten significant studies have explored the adverse effects of fluoride, bringing attention to the precautionary principle in public health policy. This article delves into these findings, contrasts them with responses from the American Dental Association (ADA), and discusses the challenges in changing public health policies due to vested interests.
Recent findings from two significant studies have reignited the fluoride debate, suggesting that the dental benefits of fluoridated water are minimal at best.
This article reviews the findings of a recent study by Drs. Bill Osmunson and Griffin Cole, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic cost, benefits, and risks associated with Community Water Fluoridation (CWF).
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) released a long overdue systematic review of fluoride's neurotoxicity with the conclusion that prenatal and early life fluoride exposures can reduce IQ.
When the EPA tried to deny the Citizen’s Petition filed by the Fluoride Action Network, IAOMT and other groups, a complaint was filed, and a judge ruled in favor of FAN, the IAOMT, and others.

The results of the first ever US government funded study of fluoride and IQ have just been published. A team of researchers found a statistically significant association between fluoride exposure in women during pregnancy and a lowering of IQ in their children, reports the Fluoride Action Network. The study was published in Environmental Health Perspectives by scientists [...]
There are many reasons to oppose water fluoridation, including safety concerns and health risks. Reason #1 to Oppose Water Fluoridation: Fluoridation is a violation of the individual’s right to informed consent to medication. Within a community water supply, fluoride is being added to the water of everyone, even [...]
In November 2016, the IAOMT joined the Fluoride Action Network and other groups to petition the EPA regarding the neurotoxic risks posed by fluoride chemicals in drinking water under Section 21 of TSCA. Click here to read the detailed citizen’s petition.

Water fluoridation: a critical review of the physiological effects of ingested fluoride as a public health intervention. Peckham S, Awofeso N. Abstract Fluorine is the world's 13th most abundant element and constitutes 0.08% of the Earth crust. It has the highest electronegativity of all elements. Fluoride is [...]
Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Anna L. Choi, Guifan Sun, Ying Zhang, Philippe Grandjean Abstract Background: Although fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in animal models and acute fluoride poisoning causes neurotoxicity in adults, very little is known of its effects on children’s neurodevelopment. Objective: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published [...]
