"**External peer-reviewers all agreed with the conclusion that prenatal and early life fluoride exposures can reduce IQ. The report was issued in two parts, a monograph and a meta-analysis. The meta-analysis found that 52 of 55 studies found lower IQ with higher fluoride exposures, demonstrating remarkable consistency. Of the 19 studies rated higher quality, 18 found lowering of IQ. The meta-analysis could not detect any safe exposure, including at levels common from drinking artificially fluoridated water. **"
Pre-natal and early life... so the mother drinking fluoride can cause problems, correct? But, I do wonder about toothpaste. I find a lot of times, there can be cases of too extreme in the caution.
Should fluoride be banished completely or is a targeted use, like toothpaste (which isn't supposed to be ingested), acceptable?
Honest question, I have only scanned the surface of the fluoride issues.
Thank you. I've been told that there is naturally occurring fluoride in some fruits, such as apples. That's what made me wonder if some in toothpaste is not the worst thing. I'm guessing that dietary fluoride doesn't get treated the same by your body?
Also, I was told that some people's well water has too much fluoride and causes fluorosis. They have to test for it in the well water.
I've never agreed with them adding anything to our water.. As usual, gov interference is not the correct choice.
Anything you put in your mouth gets into your system- sublingual (under your tongue) drops are immediately passed into your blood, for example. Remove fluoride completely.

YES! And Dental Hygiene and Diet Taught.
