The National Toxicology Program (NTP) on Wednesday released a draft report linking prenatal and childhood fluoride exposure to reduced IQ in children, after public health officials tried for almost a year to block its publication.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initially blocked the NTP from releasing the report, according to emails obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
But a court order stemming from a lawsuit filed by Food and Water Watch against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) forced the reportās release this week.
The data support a consistent inverse association between fluoride exposure and childrenās IQ.
āThese findings fly in the face of the empty, unscientific claims U.S. health officials have propagated for years, namely that water fluoridation is safe and beneficial,ā said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Childrenās Health Defense chairman and chief litigation counsel. āItās past time to eliminate this neurotoxin from our water supply.ā

Anti-fluoride campaigners force release of bombshell study in EPA lawsuit
This report, a 6-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) review of fluoride neurotoxicity, was blocked from public release by the Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Administrator in May 2022.
External peer-reviewers all agreed with the conclusion that prenatal and early life fluoride exposures can reduce IQ and impact the developing brains of children.
The next phase of the trial is expected to be in January 2024.
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola, September 04, 2024
A 2024 National Toxicology Program review found consistent evidence linking higher fluoride exposure to lower IQ in children, raising concerns about current water fluoridation practices in the U.S.
Prenatal fluoride exposure has been associated with increased behavioral problems in children by age 3, including symptoms related to ADHD, autism and anxiety.
Research suggests fluoride exposure during pregnancy may alter fetal proteins related to oxidative stress, inflammation and organ function, even at levels considered safe for water fluoridation.
VICTORY: Court rules against the EPAās longstanding water fluoridation practices, provides compelling evidence that fluoride damages childrenās brains
09/27/2024 // Lance D Johnson
A landmark federal court ruling has found fluoride levels in U.S. drinking water to pose unnecessary risks to childrenās IQ and cognition. The decision, which supports the science-backed claims of the Fluoride Action Network and other health advocacy groups, found that current fluoride levels endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pose an unreasonable risk to children's cognitive development. The court found that fluoride levels of 0.7 mg/L ā the level recommended by the EPA ā can lead to a significant reduction in children's IQ. Fluoridated water affects approximately 75 percent of Americans. This ruling is compelling because it confirms what "conspiracy theorists" have been saying for many years. Populations are being intentionally poisoned without consent.
Courts turn on the EPA, rule against water fluoridation
The ruling, issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, is a major victory for the next generation of children and adults, who now have the evidence to end fluoridation of water supplies in their respective communities, once and for all. The Fluoride Action Network has long argued that fluoride is harmful to public health, but the chemical has been added to water supplies across the nation, without anyoneās consent. This is akin to drugging people without their knowledge.
The court's decision is based on a review of scientific evidence, including a study by the U.S. Government's National Toxicology Program, which identified a clear link between fluoride exposure and neurodevelopmental harm. Specifically, for every 0.28 mg/L increase in fluoride levels in a pregnant mother's urine, the child's IQ was found to decrease by one point. The study also suggests that, even at levels lower than 1.5 mg/L, fluoride exposure can have a negative impact on cognitive development.
This court decision contradicts decades of dental associations and governments promoting fluoridated water as safe and beneficial. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has even named community water fluoridation as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. However, the new ruling suggests that these claims were always exaggerated and unfounded.
US court rules that fluoride added to water supplies poses a risk of reducing childrenās IQ
In 2016, the Blackpool Council approved a fluoridated school milk plan. All Blackpool primary school children in Years one to six are now able to have fluoridated milk as part of the school breakfast scheme.
Under this scheme, each participating child receives milk that contains 4.2 ppm of fluoride every school day. This is in addition to the fluoride added to water supplies that fall below 1 ppm.
In the US, the safe limit in water was deemed to be 0.7 ppm ā until a court ruled last week that 0.7 ppm poses an unreasonable risk of reducing IQ in children.
CDC finally admits FLUORIDE is TOXIC to humans, especially babies, causing neurological damage, so why not remove it from all municipal tap water right away?
