Fluoridated water poses serious health risks. Studies link fluoride to IQ reductions in children, with Harvard research finding a loss of 5-7 IQ points at high exposure levels. The CDC admits 41% of adolescents suffer dental fluorosis, indicating overexposure. FAN emphasizes fluoride accumulates in bones and organs, increasing risks of arthritis and thyroid dysfunction. Adding fluoride to water is outdated and unsafe clean water should promote health, not compromise it. Communities deserve safer, fluoride-free alternatives.
Decades of research confirm fluoridated water is safe and reduces cavities by 25% in children and adults. Claims of IQ reduction are based on high-fluoride regions abroad, not U.S. levels. The CDC calls fluoridation a top public health achievement.
Fluoridated water is safe and essential for public health. Over 70 years of research confirms it reduces tooth decay by 25% in children and adults (CDC). Claims of harm are unfounded; fluoride levels in public water systems are tightly regulated and endorsed by the American Dental Association and World Health Organization. Rejecting fluoridation risks reversing decades of progress in oral health and increases healthcare costs. Fearmongering about fluoride harms communities and undermines proven, cost-effective health measures.
Fluoride is a neurotoxin linked to lower IQ in children, with studies showing harm at levels found in fluoridated water (JAMA Pediatrics). Over 97% of Western Europe rejects fluoridation why risk public health when safer alternatives exist?
