Sharing of the following information should be a government priority BEFORE we have a substantial impact on learning.
Fluoride in drinking water lowers children’s IQ levels, Harvard study confirms:
High levels of fluoride in drinking water dramatically lower IQ levels in children, Harvard scientists have discovered. The difference could be enough to cause learning difficulties in children who already had a lower IQ.
Their study – which analysed 27 previously-published papers – is the first to confirm that fluoride affects the intelligence of children. The differences were significant, say the researchers, and could have a substantial impact on learning disabilities, especially in those at the low end of the IQ spectrum.
