Drawing from information on greater than 2,600 kids, this examine in contrast folks’s lifetime publicity to fluoridated water (LEFW) from delivery to age 5 to assessments of kids’s emotional and behavioral growth. The authors reported that these with decrease LEFW “tended to have poorer scores” in emotional and behavioral growth. An equivalence take a look at revealed that there was no distinction between the event scores of those that had 100% LEFW and people with 0% LEFW.
A Canadian research group has reported an affiliation between fluoride publicity and cognitive deficits in kids.
