VICTORY: Court rules against the EPA's longstanding water fluoridation practices, provides compelling evidence that fluoride damages children’s brains

By ljdevon // 2024-09-27

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.

Ending the chronic disease epidemic starts with water purity

Health professionals, researchers and advocacy groups have been raising concerns about the safety of fluoride for years. They argue that fluoride is not only found in drinking water but also in processed foods, dental products and other daily sources. Some companies actually sell water for babies that contains added fluoride. This means that the total exposure to fluoride for many people is much higher than what is considered safe. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) is one of several organizations pressing for widespread changes to water fluoridation practices across the country. “It’s time for the EPA, CDC and other health authorities to stop ignoring the science and start protecting the health of future generations,” said IAOMT President Yuko Torigoe, DMD. “We need transparent regulations based on the latest research, not outdated practices that put our children at risk.” The Academy urges local, state and federal officials to immediately halt fluoridation programs and implement public health policies that align with the latest scientific evidence, including a ban on water fluoridation. This court ruling could lead to increased scrutiny of municipal water supplies and a re-evaluation of the benefits and risks of fluoridated water. The court's ruling is expected to have a significant impact on the debate over water fluoridation for years to come, and sets a new precedent for the removal of fluoride from water sources entirely. Ending the chronic disease epidemic in America starts with ensuring that the water is pure and does not include additives that damage the brains of future generations.
