CDC Stands by Water Fluoridation After Report Linking Fluoride to Lower IQs in Kids Finally Published

The National Toxicology Program on Wednesday published a controversial report, years after efforts to suppress it finally failed. The report concluded with “moderate confidence” that higher levels of fluoride exposure in drinking water are consistently linked to lower IQs in kids.

Article Excerpts:

It’s the first government publication to concede what fluoride researchers have long reported: that the chemical added to the drinking water of hundreds of millions of people in the U.S. and celebrated as one of the 10 greatest health achievements of the 20th century carries a serious risk of neurological damage, particularly for pregnant women and young children.

“The NTP monograph provides more than sufficient evidence against the deliberate exposure of humans to fluoride through intentional fluoridation of drinking water,” said risk analysis scientist Kathleen Thiessen, Ph.D., who was not involved with the study but co-authored the 2006 National Resource Council study on fluoride toxicity.

Thiessen told The Defender, “A conclusion of ‘moderate confidence’ of neurotoxic effects, especially on unborn and newborn children, ought to mean an immediate elimination of water fluoridation and minimization of fluoride exposure to the population.”

A spokesperson for the CDC told The Defender in a statement that the agency continues to support water fluoridation at current recommended levels.  (See link for article)

So there you have it, in bright purple crayon.

The CDC simply doesn’t care about facts or your health.

And the problem is far worse than even these studies (18 out of 19 found the link & 8 out of 9 found neurodevelopment links other than IQ) because it doesn’t include additional fluoride from other sources such as toothpaste, tea, coffee, shellfish, grapes, artificial sweeteners, sodas, potatoes, flavored popsicles, baby foods, broths, stews, and hot cereals made with tap water.  Source

Kristie Lavelle, board member of Moms Against Fluoridation, states:

“The time has come for fluoride to lose its status as a protected pollutant and to be treated the same as other recognized toxins such as lead and arsenic.”

The CDC seriously needs to go.
