Fluoride Officially Classified as a Neurotoxin in World’s Most Prestigious Medical Journal

A meta-analysis of 27 cross-sectional studies of children exposed to fluoride in drinking water, mainly from China, suggests an average IQ decrement of about seven points in children exposed to raised fluoride concentrations.⁴⁴ Confounding from other substances seemed unlikely in most of these studies. Further characterisation of the dose–response association would be desirable.
