public murder on a grand scale.”
Dr. Dean Burk
Introduction by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: For liberals fluoridation of water became a cause to advance government intervention in behalf of improving dental health. After decades of fluoridation numerous unrefuted studies have established not only that fluoridation is damaging to teeth, but also is associated with a wide range of health and cognitive issues ranging from cancer to ADHD and lower IQ scores. Despite the evidence the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the fluoride lobby and associated bought scientists continue to proclaim the unproven benefits of fluoridation. Soren Korsgaard concludes his report on the real evidence with the suggestion that those responsible for the immense adverse health effects of fluoridation be brought before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. This is a very important readable scientific report. Read it and see the total absence of concern for public health by the CDC.

By Søren Roest Korsgaard: Seventy-four long years have passed since the US government decided to start community water fluoridation of a few selected cities.Back then when fluoride was first added to water supplies, asbestos was the preferred fireproofing material, PCBs were used as insulation and in pesticides, and the notoriously “safe and effective” DDT was sprayed in schools and from airplanes over large populations, killing tens of thousands of people from cancer and other diseases. All of these chemicals have been banned, except fluoride. Since 1945, the US fluoridation program has expanded massively and now encompasses over 70% of all community water supplies while the majority of the world has rejected or banned it (only 5% of the world, US included, consumed artificially fluoridated water in 2012). Fluoride is allegedly added to water supplies and most commercial toothpaste to strengthen teeth and hence reduce cavities. Until recently, US water supplies contained 1.0-1.2 ppm of fluoride i.e. around one milligram per liter of water. In 2015, the US government lowered the recommended amount of fluoride to 0.7 ppm.
The Food and Drug Administration classifies fluoride as a prescription drug; yet, there is no control of the intake. Athletes, people living in warmer climates and the elderly who cannot excrete fluoride to the same extent as younger generations are obviously overexposed. Fluoride is, among others, also absorbed by plants and animals making it increasingly difficult to avoid. Ethically, fluoridation deprives people of informed consent to medication. On the other hand, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has proclaimed that water fluoridation is “one of public health’s greatest success stories” and “one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.” The CDC proclaims to work “24/7 to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S.” The veracity of these statements by the CDC, is for the readers to judge in the pages that follow.
Intelligence
While the CDC and many other organizations praise and glorify water fluoridation on their respective websites and at conferences, they omit a massive body of peer-reviewed studies that correlate fluoride exposure with reduced IQ in humans. In fact, 61 studies that included a total of 22,176 children and 245 adults have documented this link. Many of these studies examined fluoride levels equivalent to or lower than the concentration found in most US water supplies, and adjusted for relevant variables such as socio-economic status and other toxins that affect IQ. These mainstream experts also omit numerous animal studies that have thoroughly established that fluoride can produce cognitive impairment in animals and bring about “anxiety-depression-like behaviors in mice” (Liu et al., 2014). Here are quotations from a small sample of these studies. Bartos and associates concluded in 2019 that “the present study reveals that exposure to [fluoride] in early stages of rat development leads to impairment of memory in young offspring.” Another rat study revealed that “the learning and memory of rats in [the fluoride] group significantly decreased” (Zheng et al., 2016). Jetti et al showed in their 2016 study that “the rats that received fluoride water exhibited impairment in their spatial learning and memory deficits.” In 2014, a study led by Jiang S. reached the conclusion that “fluoride and arsenic, either alone or combined, can decrease learning and memory ability in rats.” Chioca and coworkers concluded in their 2008 study, which was published in the European Journal of Pharmacology, that “moderate intoxication with sodium fluoride has potentially deleterious effects on learning and memory.” Dozens of animal studies have shown adverse cognitive affects in animals as well as many other issues not covered to any degree in this article, including cancer, infertility, loss of bone strength, and genetic damage, each topic requiring lengthy dissertations to cover. Now we will briefly summarize the conclusions of a few selected epidemiological studies. In 2009, Sudhir and coworkers studied 1000 schoolchildren exposed to several degrees of fluoride: <0 .7="" 0.7-1.2="" 1.3-4.0="" and="" ppm="">4.0 ppm. Sudhir and his research team observed that the “number of intellectually impaired children were gradually increased with the increase in fluoride concentration in the drinking water” and “high fluoride environment adversely affects the development of intelligence in children.”
Ding and coworkers examined low fluoride levels, between 0.24 and 2.84 ppm, and how they had affected 331 children. They showed that 1 mg of fluoride present in urine was associated with a 0.59-point decrease in IQ. Their study, which was published in 2011 in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, reached the conclusion that “low levels of fluoride exposure in drinking water had negative effects on children’s intelligence and dental health and confirmed the dose-response relationships between urine fluoride and IQ scores as well as dental fluorosis.” Excessive fluoride intake produces easily seen damage to tooth enamel, called dental fluorosis. In its most severe form, the enamel begins to erode and crumble, often giving the appearance that the teeth are “rotten,” resulting in severe psychological problems, especially among children. Dental fluorosis becomes especially concerning when we consider the CDC’s own study on dental fluorosis. In the period 1999–2004, the prevalence of dental fluorosis in adolescents, aged 12–15, was 40.6%. For children and adolescents, aged 6-19, a total of 37% had dental fluorosis. A follow-up study by Eman Behbehani that focused on the period 2011-2012 showed that the number of affected had increased to 57% for those aged 6 to 19.
Contrary to mainstream experts, fluoridation not only destroys health but also teeth and does so irreversibly. Numerous large-scale studies have demonstrated that populations with unfluoridated water do not have a higher incidence of cavities than in the US and that fluoridation is ineffective. Even data collected by the World Health Organization shows that several unfluoridated countries have better oral health than the US, including Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, and Italy. In 1999, Dr. Mansfield gathered urine-fluoride data in England from people living in artificially fluoridated areas. The water-fluoride-level in these areas is equivalent to the level in the US before 2015. Conservatively, we may assume that the urine-fluoride levels are similar in the US; however, they are most likely higher as only a small percentage of England is fluoridated and thus food and drinks likely contain lower levels of fluoride than in the US. In the West Midlands, 31.3% had between 1.7 ppm and 4 ppm of fluoride in their urine; the mean urine-fluoride concentration was determined to be 1.46 ppm.
According to the CDC, the number of people who “benefit” from fluoridation continues to grow. Their data show that 74.4% of all community water supplies were fluoridated in 2014, which translates into 211,393,167 people receiving fluoridated water. The CDC admits on their website that they are working diligently to ensure that nearly 80% of people on public water systems will receive fluoridated water by 2020. By invoking the data from the aforementioned study by Ding, it can be shown that fluoridation in the US is associated with a loss of 181.0 million IQ points. As we shall see, this figure underestimates the true nature of the carnage. In 2019, a major study was published in JAMA Pediatrics, titled, “Association Between Maternal Fluoride Exposure During Pregnancy and IQ Scores in Offspring in Canada.” This study, which had been founded by the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Science and by the Canadian government, demonstrated that an increase of 1 mg of fluoride in urine among pregnant women resulted in a 4.5-point decrease in IQ among boys, and collectively for both genders, a drop of 3.66 IQ-points could be documented.
Notwithstanding the profound criminality by successive profluoridation US governments and ruthless lobbyists and scientists who have been working tirelessly to ensure that the IQ holocaust continues, it gets much worse. The US government approved and secretly installed “fluoridators” in schools across the US in the 1960s, and possibly earlier, and continued until the 1990s to adjust fluoride levels to 4.0 to 5.4 ppm. In 1992, over 100,000 school children were exposed to this horror. Murphy’s law dictates, “if something can go wrong it will.” Not surprisingly dozens of fluoride accidents have occurred, poisoning an untold number of people. One of these accidents took place in 1972 in the Northeast Bradford Elementary School, Rome, Pennsylvania, were students and teachers were poisoned with fluoride levels as high as 230 ppm due to faulty equipment. Dr. Philippe Grandjean of the Harvard School of Public Health, who has published several papers on fluoride, stated in 2014, “fluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury, and other poisons that cause chemical brain drain.” In a presentation on fluoride, renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell Blaylock, asked, “If you’ve demonstrated [that fluoridation] doesn’t reach its objective: that is reducing cavities … Why is it still being added to the water? If it has these profound health effects, why is it still being added to the water? … Either they’re incredibly stupid and incompetent or criminal or they are doing it on purpose.”
Other Health Effects
While this article has briefly looked at a few selected studies showing that fluoride affects IQ, the problem does not end there. Fluoride causes havoc in the body. For example, fluoridation can damage the male reproductive system (see for example Freni et al., 1994), and studies from China, India, Mexico, and Russia have shown that high fluoride exposure can reduce male testosterone levels (see for example Peizhong et al., 1997). Those who live in fluoridated areas are well advised to filter all of their water (even that which is used for showering). Inexpensive water filters removing fluoride are easily accessible (e.g. ZeroWater). Toothpaste without fluoride is readily available in health stores and online.
Dr. Dean Burk, one of the most famous and decorated cancer research scientists in the world during the 20th century, and Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, president of the Safe Water Foundation, compared in a 1975 epidemiological survey the cancer mortality rate of central cities that were either fluoridated or unfluoridated. Prior to fluoridation, the cancer death rate remained identical for both sets of cities, but subsequent to fluoridation the cancer death rate skyrocketed in the fluoridated cities, but not in the unfluoridated ones. In 1976, Dr. Burk was asked: “Is this conclusive evidence that fluoride kills because of cancer?” He replied as follows: “It is one of the most conclusive bits of scientific and biological evidence that I have come across in my 50 years in the field of cancer research.” He added, “[fluoridation] amounts to public murder on a grand scale.”
The explosive findings were a thorn in the side of the pro-fluoridation policy of the US government, and the study was criticized, with the main contention being that the association could be explained away by demographic changes. In 1977, Burk and Yiamouyiannis addressed the criticism in another survey. They showed that sex, race, and age did not explain the significant cancer death correlated to fluoride. The cancer-fluoride survey led to three historic trials in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Texas in 1978-1982. Although pro-fluoridation scientists from the National Cancer Institute, the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Statistical Society, and the Royal College of Physicians attempted to dispute the evidence, three veteran trial judges in three different States found that water fluoridation causes cancer and other ailments in man. In each of the trials, it had been shown that the US government, or their surrogates, had attempted to conceal laboratory studies showing that fluoride causes cancer, and left out available and pertinent date in their demographic adjustment of surveys linking fluoridation and human cancer (Graham et al., 1999). These findings were never disturbed on appeal. After the judicial findings, Dr. Burk and co-workers published more expansive adjustments of demographic factors in epidemiological data in 1984 and 1988, thereby showing that the evidence presented in court was too conservative. Specifically, Burk, Graham, and Morin showed in 1988 that “artificial fluoridation appears to cause or induce about 20-30 excess cancer deaths for every 100,000 persons exposed per year after about 15-20 years.” Using this data it can easily be shown that at least a million excess cancer deaths in the United States have been caused or promoted by water fluoridation since this measure was endorsed by the government of the United States in 1951.
Fluoride also affects behavior. Following extensive peer-review in 1995, Mullenix and coworkers published their study into the possible neurotoxicity of fluoride in rats. In order to eliminate bias, Mullenix had utilized a computer-pattern-recognition-system to detect if fluoride had an effect on behavior. Strikingly, it was discovered that fluoride produced life-long changes in behavior. If young rats were exposed to fluoride in their drinking water for a few weeks of the rat’s lifetime it produced hypoactivity; Mullenix would later say, “they became slower, ‘couch potatoes’ if you like.” They also gave a one-time subcutaneous injection of fluoride into pregnant rats. As the offspring of those rats grew up they became distinctly hyperactive, indicating that fluoride affects different regions of the brain depending on what time exposure takes place. Mullenix and her team also discovered that “there was major accumulations of fluoride in all the regions of the brain, and that some areas looked like there were greater accumulations than others, that were sex-determinant.” Several other animal and epidemiological studies have supported the conclusions drawn by Mullenix, including Jennifer Anne Luke’s PhD dissertation from 1997, which showed that fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland affecting melatonin production and results in accelerated onset of sexual maturation in female gerbils. In regard to hyperactivity, a 2015 study demonstrated that “state prevalence of artificial water fluoridation in 1992 significantly positively predicted state prevalence of ADHD in 2003, 2007 and 2011, even after controlling for socio economic status …. Each 1% increase in artificial fluoridation prevalence in 1992 was associated with approximately 67,000 to 131,000 additional ADHD diagnoses from 2003 to 2011” (Malin et al., 2015). Pursuant to Dr. Blaylock, the effects of fluoridation and other environmental toxins are immense:
“We’re seeing a society that not only has a lot more people of lower IQ, but a lot fewer people of higher IQ. In other words: a dumbing down, a chemical dumbing down of society. So everyone is sort of mediocre. That leaves them dependent on government, because they can’t excel. We have these people of lower IQ who are totally dependent. Then we have this mass of people who are going to believe anything they are told because they can’t really think clearly—and very few people of a very high IQ have good cognitive function who can figure this all out. And that’s what they want.”
Successive US government officials, academics, mainstream experts, dentists, and journalists continue to cover-up fluoridation’s profoundly hazardous effects. The responsible parties must be hurled before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
