Researchers focused on the intelligent development that is diminished by

high levels of fluoride in drinking water, Infowars reported.

The study, which was performed on rats for a period of 60 days, showed that

fluoride caused neurodegenerative and morphological alterations in the

neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum areas of the brain, and in the spinal

cord and sciatic nerve.

" High levels of fluoride in drinking water (1-12 ppm) affect central nervous

system directly without first causing the physical deformities of skeletal

fluorosis, " K. Pratap Reddy of the University College of sciences at Osmania

University in Hyderabad wrote in the Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences.

According to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), there are now 25 studies

showing that fluoride is associated with IQ reduction, even at fluoride

levels as low as 0.3 to 3 parts per million, which overlaps the range in

many American communities (0.7 to 1.2 ppm).

A previous rat study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Mullenix and her colleagues in

1995 showed that fluoride " can be indicative of a potential for motor

dysfunction, IQ deficits and/or learning disabilities in humans. "

Numerous studies conducted in different countries such as the US, Mexico,

China and India have determined that fluoride exposure is associated with IQ

deficits in children.
