The US Dept of Health and Human Services is lowering the recommended amount of fluoride in tap water. Fluoride, although considered one of the greatest public health achievements, is a toxic ingredient. There is growing concern among many public watchdog groups that fluoride may cause other serious health problems.

In a recent study, it was found that children achieved lower IQ scores in areas where fluoridation rates were highest. Rates of mental retardation were more than double in areas of high fluoridation rates. Children with scores in the ‘bright’ or higher intelligence ranges were 5 times more prevalent in areas of low fluoridation.

Splotchy teeth, lower IQ, what else is next? Fluoride is already found in toothpastes and mouthwashes. And guess what?  WE DON’T SWALLOW THEM!
