Kids Exposed to Fluoride Scored Lower on Cognitive Tests, Study Finds

 

Researchers from Tulane University linked high fluoride levels in wells to cognitive deficits in children in Ethiopia, finding more impairment with greater exposure. The study adds to concerns over fluoride’s neurotoxicity, especially for early brain development.

Children with chronic exposure to high levels of fluoride in drinking water made more errors on drawing and cognitive tests, according to a new pilot study by researchers at Tulane University.

The study, which linked fluoride exposure and cognitive impairment, was published in the November-December issue of the peer-reviewed Neurotoxicology and Teratology journal.
