Chalk another win for the conspiracy theorists…
In new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that high levels of fluoride in drinking water leads to decreased intelligence among children.
The federal report, released on Wednesday, is a confirmation of sorts of a theory long espoused by independent journalists and media commentators — a theory that has historically been scoffed at as a baseless conspiracy.
“Since 1945, the use of fluoride has been a successful public health initiative for reducing dental cavities and improving general oral health of adults and children,” the National Toxicology Program (NTP) said in the report. “The NTP monograph concluded that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children.”

By examining data from Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico, the federal study discovered that levels of fluoride exposure above the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended 1.5 mg of fluoride per liter of water are associated with lower IQ in children.
The United States, which has intentionally added fluoride to drinking water federally since 1950 for its benefits to dental health, recommends fluoride levels no greater than 0.7 mg/L.
The study did not determine whether negative cognitive effects are also caused by levels recommended in the U.S., citing “insufficient data.”
The NTP did claim, however, that it found no negative effects of fluoride exposure on adults, although it is unclear if the harm done by fluoride in childhood will persist throughout adulthood.
American children are, however, potentially exposed to far higher levels of fluoride than even those recommended by the WHO.
In the U.S., the standard level of fluoride in public water supplies is usually lower than 0.7 milligrams per liter; however, there have been multiple reported instances of fluoride concentrations arriving to end users in much higher concentrations in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, the Dakotas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and South Carolina — in most cases because of naturally present fluoride.
Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) only requires that the level of fluoride in the water system be below 4mg/L, which is significantly higher than the 1.5mg/L levels above which cognitive harm was discovered.
Despite its findings, the NTP made no recommendation on potential changes to the U.S. policy of putting fluoride in water.
In Maine, the state recommends a concentration of 0.5 to 1.2 milligrams per liter for the 65 public utilities in the state that fluoridate drinking water for customers. The “Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) the state sets for fluoride is 0.4 milligrams per liter.
The Maine CDC’s website on the health impacts of fluoride does not currently list any concerns about the impact of high levels on child intelligence.
The study comes after years of claims by the mainstream media that anyone questioning the safety and wisdom of intentionally pouring fluoride into the supply of drinking water is an unhinged conspiracy theorist.
In February, independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. announced on X that he would instruct the Centers for Disease Control to remove fluoride from American drinking water if he were elected president.
“As president. I’m going to order the CDC to take every step necessary to remove neurotoxic fluoride from American drinking water,” said Kennedy on X.
Although Kennedy cited the testimony of a Harvard professor as proof of his claims that fluoride is a neurotoxin, he was nevertheless derided by FactCheck.org, which denied his claims and argued that the chemical additive is perfectly safe and beneficial.
Mainstream outlets have been trying for years to convince the public that there is no reason to question the widespread use of fluoride, with a 2017 report from fact-checking organization Snopes outright denying that fluoride causes lower IQ.

I am infinitely more acute with concern about Marxists teachers’ unions lowering IQ that Floride. Thomas Sowell covers this top to bottom in “Social Justice Fallacies”.

How dare you talk about Maine Teachers like that ?
These people are the salt of the earth .
They are beyond reproach .
Dont even think about blaming them for anything .
They gave my 7 year old son a book from the school library to do a report on .
It was about queers having anal sex and giving each other blow jobs .
Maine teachers know what is best for our kids .
Glad to have RFK, Jr. endorse Trump. They have differences, of course, but he’s right about the government being a bad actor in many areas, particularly in health care.
Seems likely that the inbred infidel’s are all victims of fluoride and porn hub. So sad. Paul never met an infidel he liked. Pretty sure he wrote a few books in the NT to utterly destroy them. AKA: Infidel = homosexual.
