Now resesearch has shown that long-term fluoride consumption can be extremely harmful .
Fluoride consumption leads to lowered intelligence. One of the most researched side effects of fluoride is what it does to lower your IQ.
The Institute of Environmental Health Sciences journal Environmental Health Perspectives in August 2012. Researchers from both Harvard University’s School of Public Health and China Medical University in Shenyang, in a joint meta-analysis of 27 studies, found there were “strong indications” that fluoride exposure, particularly among developing children, is highly problematic for proper cognitive development and brain formation.
“Our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children’s neurodevelopment,” Anna Choi, a research scientist at Harvard, and her colleagues wrote in their report. “Fluoride readily crosses the placenta. Fluoride exposure to the developing brain, which is much more susceptible to injury caused by toxicants than is the mature brain, may possibly lead to damage of a permanent nature.”
