A study published Wednesday has found that pregnant women with higher levels of the drug fluoride in their bodies give birth to children with higher rates of neurological-based behavioral problems.
“These findings suggest that prenatal fluoride exposure may increase risk of neurobehavioral problems among children living in an optimally fluoridated area in the US,” the study said in the ‘Meaning’ section.
The data indicates that with certain levels of fluoride, mothers basically double the risk of having clinically-damaged, misbehaving children. This is the first study on U.S. specific outcomes of prenatal fluoride exposure and the effects it has on children’s neurobehavioral outcomes.
“In this cohort study of 229 pregnant women and their children, a 0.68 mg/L (ie, 1 IQR) increase in specific gravity–adjusted maternal urinary fluoride during pregnancy was associated with nearly double the odds of T scores for total child neurobehavioral problems being in the borderline clinical or clinical range,” the study said in the ‘Findings’ section.
The importance of this study stems from the fact that other research out of Canada and Mexico has indicated that children exposed to fluoride in the womb have poorer neurodevelopment characteristics than non-fluoridated children. This study specifically looks at the U.S. population.
