Fluoride has been used for a long time as a dental health tool as a means to prevent caries and the fight against tooth decay, but now a new meta -analysis suggests that it could have “harmful effects” on the health of pregnant women and babies.
The researchers analyzed several studies, concluding that exposure to fluoride “offers little benefit to the fetus and the young baby.”
Exposure to systemic fluoride can have a harmful impact on bone resistance, thyroid function and cognitive development, according to findings, which were published in the annual public health review.

“Systemic fluoride administration throughout the community can represent an unfavorable risk-benefit relationship for pregnant women, fetus and baby,” reads meta-analysis.

Philippe Grandjean, a researcher in the study and professor of environmental medicine at the University of Southern Denmark, told Fox News Digital that “fluoride is toxic to the development of the early brain.”
“It does not depend on the source of fluoride,” Grandjean. “In addition to flurate drinking water, we need to limit the ingestion of fluorid toothpaste, which is only excellent for dental health, but not swallow it.”

He recommended avoiding the consumption of certain types of black tea, “especially those that are grown in fluorine rich soils (for example, East Africa and certain parts of China and India).”
Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) establish that fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing lost minerals during normal wear.

The review indicated that with the growing access to fluoride over the years, the beneficial effect of fluoride is predominantly topical, citing that there is no need for generalized community fluoration.
During an appearance last week about “The story with Martha Maccallum”. HHS secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that “exposure to fluoride is dose -related.”

“In other words, the more fluoride you get, the less your intellectual coefficient will be … The benefits of fluoride are topical,” Kennedy added.

“It was originally thought that when we put it in the water in the 1940s that were systemic,” he continued. “In other words, if you drank it, it would do something to your body to avoid the growth of caries. But it is not how it works.”
The HHS secretary added that the fluoride is associated with “with extreme losses in bone density.”

More than 200 million Americans, or around 75% of the population, currently drink fluorid water.
“All the benefit of you comes from topical application … there really is no reason to have it in the water supply at this time when we have toothpaste and mouthwash,” Kennedy concluded.

Kennedy said he plans to tell the CDCs to stop recommending the addition of fluoride to drinking water, said Associated Press.
Utah recently became the first state to approve legislation that prohibits fluoride in drinking water.
Governor Spencer Cox signed the bill last month, a measure that was applauded by those who supported the “Make America Healy Again” movement.

Legislators in other states, including Ohio, South Carolina and Florida, have also presented proposals to restrict local governments or water system operators that add fluoride to water.
