VICTORY: Court rules against the EPA’s longstanding water fluoridation practices, provides compelling evidence that fluoride damages children’s brains
09/27/2024 / By Lance D Johnson
A landmark federal court ruling has found fluoride levels in U.S. drinking water to pose unnecessary risks to children’s 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 – the level recommended by the EPA – 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 anyone’s 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.
