Bedfordshire Times and Citizen letter
Dear Editor,
Warning Mums2B – avoid fluoride exposure during pregnancy from ALL sources as a new study, 12 years in duration, (Bashal et al 2017), confirms that fluoride passes through the placenta barrier and can harm the fetal brain, lowering IQ. There is a calculated lossof 6 IQ points to the unborn child if pregnant women drink water at fluoride levels recommended by Public Health England (and that is without fluoride exposure from other sources such as fluoridated toothpaste). This loss of IQ is permanent, unnecessary and avoidable. Be safe rather than sorry.
