Fluoride is known to lower IQ in children, cause bone cancer in boys, and induce dental and skeletal fluorosis. In fact, fluoride can cause more harms than those diseases/conditions.

• Neurological damage
• Reduced IQ scores in children
• Dental and skeletal fluorosis
• Osteosclerosis
• Calcification of tendons and ligaments
• Bone deformities
• Conjunctival hyperaernia (excess blood in the eye)
• Respiratory disorders
• Chronic cough
• Bronchitis
• Chonic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
• Lung Cancer

• Osteosarcoma (bone cancer males)
• Thyroid Cancer
• Osteoporosis
• Decreased Bone Density
