This is one of the most rigorously executed studies on fluoride and neuro-development ever conducted. Researchers found that prenatal exposure to fluoride permanently compromised children’s cognitive function.
Hundreds of scientific studies and research articles were analyzed to create this new document, which includes over 500 supporting citations.
The loss of IQ in utero is quite large. Essentially, a prenatal child of a mother drinking water with 1 part per million (ppm) of fluoride (as has been the case in Durango until 2015), would be expected to have an IQ that is five to six points lower than a child born to a mother who drank fluoride-free water.
Children ingest an estimated 2 mg or 2 ppm of fluoride per day; that is without additional fluoride from dental procedures, supplements or medication.
This study measures fluoride as urine output, a far more accurate indicator of total intake than simply measuring the concentration of fluoride in drinking water and then calculating how much water is being consumed.
What will it take to stop poisoning and endangering our children with water, the essential nutrient for life? There is an easy remedy.
Stop adding fluoride to Durango’s water supply.
