The book The Case Against Fluoride, authored by three scientists, Paul Connett, James Beck, and H.S. Micklem, reveals that research into water fluoridation is flawed.38 In a recent meta-analysis, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and China Medical University in Shenyang examined 27 different studies and found that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children.39 Based on the findings, the authors say this risk should not be ignored and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted. In 2014, one of the authors, Philippe Grandjean, classified fluoride as a developmental neurotoxicant.

The problem is, there are specific issues when it comes to children and the ingestion of substances:

an infant’s blood–brain barrier is not properly formed, and is therefore particularly vulnerable to toxic exposure

relative to body size, infants consume proportionally more fluids than adults

infants absorb and uptake a higher proportion of ingested fluoride than adults.
