Naturally High Fluoride Levels in Private Wells May Be Linked With IQ Decline

(Before It's News)

Certain kinds of granite contain high levels of fluoride, increasing the concentration in private wells drawing it from the water. Newly available data, released in recent months, indicates dangerously high levels of fluoride in private wells. In some cases, the wells contain more than double the level that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has deemed the acceptable maximum exposure level and the end result on human health may be appearing on IQ scores in children.

Although homeowners in Dedham, Maine are encouraged to get their water regularly tested to ensure that worrisome levels of bacteria or naturally occurring minerals have not crept in, many residents do not follow that advice.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes water fluoridation as one of the top 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. However, a growing number of experts and scientists claim water fluoridation is a complete fraud with no scientific evidence supporting the link between the ingestion of fluoridated water and a decreases in tooth decay.

Advocates of fluoride say its use in municipal water systems poses no adverse health concerns, however results from investigations clearly state the opposite.

Proven To Lower IQ

Moreover, fluoride can lead to pitted teeth and discoloration. It also makes bones brittle and more prone to fractures. And recent studies have also linked high levels of fluoride exposure with IQ deficits. A 2012 review article examined more than two dozen relevant studies performed outside the U.S.–mostly in China but also a couple in Iran–and found that high fluoride exposures reduce children’s IQs by an average of about seven points.
