Conclusion: Fluoride possibly safe, neurotoxicity also a possibility

Content: Authors noted the possibility that high fluoride exposure could impair neurodevelopment of children, causing lower IQ scores. Although the IQ difference was considered modest by most interpretations, further research is warranted to fully understand the impact of water fluoridation on the neurodevelopment of children.

2007: A study published in 2007 aimed to investigate the impact of both arsenic and fluoride exposure on neurodevelopment and growth of children. For the study, researchers recruited 720 children aged 8 to 12 living in the Shanxi province of China. The children were then sorted into groups including: a medium and high arsenic group, a high fluoride and low arsenic group, and a low fluoride and low arsenic (control group),
Researchers administered standard IQ tests to determine the intelligence of the children. Additionally, researchers measured physical attributes such as: chest circumference, height, lung capacity, and weight – these helped determine whether exposure influenced growth.
