Do not add fluoride to drinking water across the UK as proposed.
The proposal to introduce fluoride into drinking water focuses solely upon caries prevention & dental health, however, multiple peer reviewed studies, including most recently, in 2019 show that fluoride intake directly corresponds to lower IQ scores, especially among developing brains of children.
This petition is against the proposal to add fluoride to drinking water.
"..elevated fluoride intake during early development can result in IQ deficits that may be considerable." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6923889/). "The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/fluoride-childrens-health-grandjean-choi/
