NEW STUDY PROVES CHILDREN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF FLUORIDE HAVE REDUCED INTELLIGENCE A new study published in the Journal of Neurosciences in Rural Practice titled ‘Effect of fluoride exposure on the intelligence of school children in Madhya Pradesh India’ has discovered that there is a significant relationship between intelligence in children and the level of fluoride in water. The study was conducted in the Madhya Pradesh state of India using a cross-section of 12-year-old school children. Children that were selected for the study were from areas that contained low levels of fluoride in their drinking water (Less than 1.5 parts per million) and high levels of fluoride in their drinking water (Greater than 1.5 parts per million). The researchers concluded that average test scores between children who were exposed to high levels of fluoridated water had a statistically significant lower level of intelligence as compared to those children who were exposed to low levels of fluoride. The Children’s intelligence was measured using the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices. As can be observed from the graph below, there is a significant connection between the water fluoride levels and intelligence. theglobalistreport/exposure-to-fluoride-reduces-intelligence-in-children/
