Expectant mothers with higher exposure to fluoride through drinking water may be more likely to have kids with lower IQ scores, a new study warns.
Despite these findings, more studies with similar results will be needed to prompt a tough reconsideration of fluoride's safety, said pediatric neuropsychologist David Bellinger, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and a professor of environmental health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
"Throughout more than 70 years of research and practical experience, the overwhelming weight of credible scientific evidence has consistently indicated that fluoridation of community water supplies is safe," the ADA said."The evidence-based research shows the recommended concentrations of fluoride used in community water fluoridation is beneficial and safe for the public.
Their children's IQ scores were then assessed once they reached ages 3 to 4, and those scores were compared against the fluoride in mom's urine during pregnancy.
