A recent study published in the world’s most renowned medical journal has classified Fluoride as a neurotoxin, and declared it lethal on brain development.
The Lancet study says the Fluoride, alongside other toxic compounds such as arsenic, lead and mercury, has a negative impact on brain development.

A large number of cities within the U.S. are pumping their drinking water systems full of fluoride, and the government is claiming that there are no health risks to this unnecessary practice.
Why is fluoride added to water?
Fluoride is added to water because of an outdated notion that it prevents dental decay, according to Scientific American. If applied frequently in low concentrations, the U.S. is being led to believe that it increases the rate of growth and size of tooth enamel – which helps to reverse the formation of small cavities.
But, modern studies show that dental decay rates are so low in the U.S. that the effects of water fluoridation cannot actually be measured. This means that the benefit of water fluoridation is not clinically relevant, according to Fluoride Alert.
