2017; Li et al, 2004). In 2017 Bashash et al. reported that certain levels of fluoride in the urine of pregnant women were correlated to a decrease of 5-6 IQ points in their offspring. A year later, results of a national study of the urinary fluoride levels of pregnant Canadian women by Till et al. (2018) reported that pregnant women living in optimally fluoridated communities (0. 7 mg/L fluoride) had the same urinary fluoride reported in the Bashash study. The U. has the same "optimal" fluoride levels as Canada. What we learned from the Mother-Offspring fluoride studies is that the fetus is the most vulnerable to fluoride's toxicity and that the pregnant woman and the fetus were never considered in any risk assessment for water fluoridation. FAN is appealing to professionals to sign this statement calling for an end to fluoridation of our drinking water. We hope that by circulating this statement the media, professionals, decision-makers, and the public (especially pregnant women), will help halt this unnecessary and reckless practice.

All believe that public health policy should be determined honestly with full attention paid to sound science and to ethical principles. According to Dr. Paul Connett, the Executive Director of FAN, "What we are seeing here is the judgment of professionals across the world, not trapped by a 'fluoridation belief system, ' that the information on the health effects contained in the National Research Council report of 2006, together with a growing number of peer reviewed studies showing that fluoridation has only weak or no benefits, leads to one conclusion: the meager benefits do not outweigh the serious risks and fluoridation must be stopped. " Connett adds, "Now our task is to get health officials, regulators, and the media to exercise due diligence in this matter and seriously examine the information presented in the Professionals' Statement. Fluoridation will only end in the US when officials in the Oral Health Division of the CDC are forced to defend, under oath, their zealous promotion of this practice.
They appear to be oblivious to its ineffectiveness and the dangers it poses to the American people – and people in the handful of other fluoridated countries. " To this end, FAN has organized an online action petition to Congress allowing citizens to add their support to the Professionals' Statement and the call for new Congressional Hearings. August 9, 2007, was an historic day for this movement because it marks the day when those who promote fluoridation can no longer claim that they represent a single "authority" on this matter. Over 1, 000 professionals have seen through their hollow rhetoric and are demanding an end to this outdated practice. August 9, 2007 marked the beginning of the end of fluoridation worldwide. Connett concludes, "The Professionals' Statement is the rock on which we will build the rest of our campaign.

Yep, took me my first two years of college to really get my feet under me. Last two were fantastic, but I had to cram 12 years of learning academic discipline into two years in order to get there. Two biggest takeaways: Don't miss classes Don't put off asking for help Once I made number 1 a hard rule and started going to professors as soon as an issue did come up, it made everything a lot easier. It wasn't even something that I needed to do very often or that took that much effort. It was just that after taking stock and looking at where I had issues, almost all of my biggest problems could have been headed off before they even became an issue if I had just done those two things. Much easier to stop a pebble from rolling downhill than to try to clear up the rockslide it caused on the way down.

On August 9, 2007, FAN released a Statement signed by over 1, 000 professionals calling for an end to fluoridation and a call to legislators in fluoridating countries to hold hearings to determine why, after the release of the landmark National Research Council report in 2006, aggressive promotion of fluoridation continues. The over 4, 700 signers represent a remarkable coming together of those concerned about fluoride and those concerned about mercury issues; doctors practicing conventional medicine and those pursuing alternative treatments and the public health and the environmental health communities.
November 15, 2018: Professionals are asked to sign a new statement calling for the end of water fluoridation worldwide. This is a response to the new Mother-Offspring fluoride studies which, for the first time, identified the fetus as the most vulnerable to fluoride's adverse neurotoxic (brain damaging) effects. Professionals can add their name to this statement by clicking the link below. The original "Professionals' Call for an End to Water Fluoridation" sign-on statement ( circulated from 2007- 2018) was triggered by the disturbing scientific evidence of fluoride's dangers as presented in the report on the toxicology of fluoride by the National Research Council of the National Academies in 2006. By October 2018 this statement was signed by 4, 800 professionals. On November 15, 2018, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) issued a "Renewed Call" to Professionals to sign a new statement opposing the fluoridation of public drinking water. This has been triggered by the publication of very important and disturbing Mother-Offspring fluoride studies, several funded by the U. S. Government ( Bashash et al, 2017 and 2018; Thomas et al, 2018; Valdez Jiménez et al.
