High levels of fluoride in drinking water linked to lower IQ in children

2 Likes

Its been like that for 5 decades. Didnt seem to stop the high acheivers of the world lol.

Basically if your iq was 105 then it would be 100 because of flouride.

I wonder what lowers iq more, flouride or cannabis and alcohol lol

I looked it up .

-7.6 points for alcohol users
-8 points for marijuana users

So if you regularly do both then your out almost 16 points off your IQ :exploding_head::exploding_head:

Yeah the trouble with our current internet is you can promote any facts and it’s not necessarily scientific which is basically double blind studies over time with strict controls.

We have fluoride in our water out here and there’s always someone saying nasty things but not so sure. Sun causes cancer. That is a fact. Does fluoride. It’s much more complicated but everyone has an opinion and not everyone knows what the heck they are talking about…

I’d personally not like fluoride in my water. I’d just like water but I’m 54 and doing it for years so I guess that isn’t too bad.

In the uk we add fluoride to our water and in the USA they add chlorine to their water and Australia adds nothing to their water.

hey definitely add fluoride to the water here North of Brisbane. Have for years.

Fluoride in Brisbane water supplies is carefully maintained at safe and beneficial levels between 0.6 and 0.8 parts per million (ppm).1 Feb 2023

That is Queensland Australia and they’ve done it most of my life for sure.

@rogueone

Oh, when I used to live in Australia they didn’t add it, but I lived in nsw and Queensland. That was 15 years ago though, they may have changed it.

They say it’s for our teeth. I know there’s a conspiracy that fluoride is there to make us stupid and more docile.

If we were affected, then nations wouldn’t be able to function. Nobody would get anything done. I hope it’s not affecting us…

I use fluoride free toothpaste. It’s called kingfisher.

I don’t necessarily recommend that for anyone because we are all different.

But, it works for me.

I once read something about fluoride doing something to the pineal gland. That could be a fake memory and I don’t remember the reliability of the article… :thinking:

Fluoride isn’t harmful it’s the other chemicals they add to toothpaste.

I suggest you start using fluoride toothpaste, because I did what you did and wrecked my gums and teeth years ago.

Fluoride is natural, it’s found in tea, black tea, green tea and certain other foods.

It’s having too much fluoride that it becomes hazardous.

True. I think everyone has their own tolerance level for stuffs though.

I feel I can’t tolerate fluoride easily. In certain amounts. That’s why I try to reduce it.

Ive been using fluoride free toothpaste for 2 years and my teeth aren’t bad.

Yea, I get your point though, maybe most ppl do need fluoridated toothpaste but I don’t.

Oh yeh Brisbane is in Queensland, stupid me.

When I lived there in the 90s my parents always used to discuss how there’s no fluoride in the water compared to the uk. I thought they were wrong lol
