Children's Health Defense Dr. Howard Hu, co-author of a study published today in JAMA Network Open, said the study’s findings are concerning because the women were not exposed to particularly high levels of fluoride.
Children born to women exposed during pregnancy to fluoridated drinking water were more likely to have neurobehavioural problems, according to a study published today in JAMA Network Open.
In the first U.S.-based cohort study to examine this link, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC), the University of Florida and Indiana University followed 229 mother-child pairs from pregnancy until the children were 3 years old.
They found that a 0.68 milligram per liter (mg/L) increase in fluoride exposure during pregnancy was associated with nearly double the chance of a child, by age 3, exhibiting neurobehavioral problems at or near a level that meets the criteria for a clinical diagnosis.
Dr. Howard Hu, Flora L. Thornton Chair and Professor of Population and Public Health Sciences at USC and co-author of the study told The Defender the study’s findings are concerning because the women were not exposed to particularly high fluoride levels.
