NEW YORK -- A U.S. government report expected to stir debate concluded that fluoride in drinking water at twice the recommended limit is linked with lower IQ in children.

The report, based on an analysis of previously published research, marks the first time a federal agency has determined — “with moderate confidence” — that there is a link between higher levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQ in kids. While the report was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoride in drinking water alone, it is a striking acknowledgment of a potential neurological risk from high levels of fluoride.

Two times daily brushing of teeth, mouthwash with fluoride, and water in the drinking water. I wonder if that is enough to be counted as causing harm?

This is something that is done without informed consent, and there is NO way to control the dosage of this non essential chemical that is added to the water. The unborn recieve it their mothers womb, its in the water when you shower, its used in the processing plants that manufacture food.

Floride is a waste product that is marketed as a "beneficial" additive and allows processors to avoid the cost of its disposal by disposing it in your water and body.
