The University of North Carolina is conducting a questionable study with infants as young as three months old. The study proposes to administer bottled water with fluoride in it over a period of four years.
The purpose is to see if drinking the water will prevent cavities and tooth decay, with the aim of justifying the use of fluoride in drinking water systems in the U.S.. However, critics say the university isn’t giving proper, legally-required consent forms informing parents that fluoride has shown to reduce IQ in children.
Editors at the Journal of the American Medical Association say fluoride’s effect on the brain is equivalent to that of lead, Yahoo! Finance reports.
