US government report says fluoride at twice the recommended limit is linked to lower IQ in kids

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.

Oh no! General Jack Ripper was right. Damn Russians have ruined our precious bodily fluids. https://youtu.be/J67wKhddWu4?si=ZxWlsBpcugi85LBF

Fluoride and bromide are toxic. Iodine is essential for health.

“”that there is a link between higher levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQ in kids.””

Nothing to do with the public education system, of course!

Does ANY US government agency think we’re ever going to believe them again?

“marks the first time a federal agency has determined — “with moderate confidence”. Well, “moderate confidence” by a federal agency, gives me COMPLETE confidence that my federal income tax dollars are being wasted on nothing but studying lunacy.

There are a lot more reasons for lower iq than fluoride. My dad lived in a place where the water was naturally high in fluoride and he died with a mouthful of perfectly good teeth. He was also smarter than most people. He had technical accomplishments that were distinguishing. After connecting Helsinki and Vienna to Washington for the SALT talks, he got to test the setup by speaking with Richard Nixon on the telephone from Helsinki.

“ But some of the studies reviewed in the report suggested IQ was 2 to 5 points lower in children who’d had higher exposures.”

Nearly within the margin of error, both over time and within groups.

I associate it with poisonous vaxes or injections along with a really poor education system by the US government.

At the age of 77 I still have all my teeth, passed my medicare exams last month and am still sharp as a tack.

But then WE were raised on High Plains well water with natural fluoride in it. Same for brother and sister.
Mom was raised on Appalachian fluoride free well water and had to have dentures put in early in life.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump returns to office that water fluoridation is banned for various reasons. And we may see the phaseout of the usage of seed oils and high-fructose corn syrup in foodstuffs (lard and beef tallow is not as bad for you as some people think; even refined sugar is less detrimental to your health in small amounts compared to HCFS).

They derided the John Birch society for being anti-fluoride.

They are trying to find a politically acceptable explanation for the stupidification of US kids, when the actual reason is garbage DNA, inbreeding, and poisoning in the womb by different substances including alcohol.

You take a normal, healthy five year old, put him through twelve years of the U.S. education system and you’ll shave a minimum of five points off his IQ. Our kids are indoctrinated into being brain dead woke stooges.
