It’s Something in the Water: NIH Confirms Fluoride Exposure Linked to Lower IQ in Children
This week a federal judge ruled against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over concerns about the currently recommended fluoride levels in drinking water throughout the country.
Judge Edward Chen issued the ruling on Tuesday, citing a recent review by the National Institutes of Health which concluded that higher levels of fluoride may be linked to lower IQ in children.
“In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States,” Judge Chen wrote in his ruling.
