Dr. Staci Whitman, a pediatric dentist, has raised serious concerns about the safety of fluoride in drinking water, labeling it as toxic industrial waste that could harm children's neurological development. New studies link fluoride exposure to lower IQ scores in children, even at levels considered safe by U.S. guidelines. Additionally, the benefits of fluoride for dental health have diminished since the widespread use of fluoride toothpaste. As some states move towards banning fluoridation, advocates question the practice's ethical implications and potential health risks, including thyroid disease and bone damage.
Dr. Staci Whitman, a board-certified pediatric dentist, referred to fluoride added to municipal water as 'toxic byproduct' from phosphate fertilizers, emphasizing its hazardous nature.
A recent JAMA Pediatrics analysis of 74 studies found significant correlations between increased fluoride exposure and decreased IQ levels in children, raising alarms about public health.
