Fetal Fluoride Exposure:

|
The daily "Adequate Intake" (AI) of fluoride for pregnant women is 0.049 mg/kg. When a Pregnant Woman Consumes Fluoride, So Does Her Baby.This means the daily intake of fluoride for babies in the months before birth is
This also means the daily "Tolerable Upper Intake" (UL) of fluoride
A fetal fluoride UL significantly lower than 0.10 mg/kg/day

Most fluoride intake is from fluoridated tap water. Many people living in fluoridated areas consume more than 0.03 mg/kg/day of fluoride from fluoridated tap water, which pregnant women are told to drink throughout the day. And this does not include consumption of fluoridated water from indirect sources such as commercial beverages. [EPA Fluoridation Trial. July 2020]
This means that in fluoridated communities, babies in the womb are receiving their Tolerable Upper Intake of fluoride. The Institute of Medicine warned that this is a "very serious population risk of adverse effects."
"The term adverse effect is defined as any significant alteration
in the structure or function of the human organism."
Infants in the First 6 MonthsInfant ULs should also be "significantly lower" than children's (0.10 mg/kg/day), because the Institute of Medicine said, "in the unborn fetus and newborn infant, sensitivity increases due to... rapid development of the brain." [Consideration of Variability in Sensitivity] Note: Table B-17 shows that for children 7 months to 8 years old, their UL is only about twice their AI. But for newborn infants, their UL (0.10 mg/kg) is 70 times higher than their AI (0.0014 mg/kg)! This irrational, extremely high UL for infants was rejected
According to EPA's 2019 data, the average fluoride exposures for infants who consume fluoridated water during the first six months of life are 0.07–0.10 mg/kg/day." [EPA Fluoridation Trial. July 2020] "A very serious population risk of adverse effects." |

Fluoride: "Well Documented to Alter Human Neurodevelopment" "It is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain and the body by direct and indirect means." – National Research Council (2006) In 2009, a team of researchers at the Neurotoxicology Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency identified 202 "developmental neurotoxicants," chemicals shown to be "toxic to the developing mammalian nervous system." They had "substantial evidence" for 107 of the chemicals – including fluoride, nicotine, thalidomide, cocaine, PCBs, amphetamine, bisphenol A, and LSD. In 2015, that team identified 21 of these developmental neurotoxicants as the "gold standard," because they were "well documented to alter human neurodevelopment." Again fluoride is one of them – along with more substances pregnant women already should avoid: alcohol, lead, arsenic, chlorpyrifos, mercury, valproate, terbutaline. Of all these developmental neurotoxicants,

• A fetal fluoride UL of 0.03 mg/kg/day is supported by the FDA's toothpaste warning.
• Research shows that fluoride levels in fetal blood can be more than twice as high as cord blood and 25% higher than maternal levels. This happens because fluoride in amniotic fluid also enters into fetal circulation (like alcohol does).
• The US government's fluoride irrationale is further revealed by the fact that its only concern for fluoride during pregnancy was whether a mother-to-be needed more fluoride, not less.
• Health authorities still advise pregnant women to drink fluoridated water throughout the day – or to swallow fluoride supplements – despite numerous recent Mother-Offspring Fluoride Studies showing that higher levels of fluoride in pregnant women are associated with adverse effects on their children's cognitive development, as shown by lower IQs.
Fluoridation was implemented in the stone age of neuroscience.
'Health' authorities must stop discriminating against
and overdosing children in the womb
with a known neurotoxin!
