Higher Fluoride Levels in Water Lowers Kids' IQs

[liveonearth]

And that's just what we need to make the movie Idiocracy predictive. A recently published Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have "significantly lower" IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas.

This doesn't surprise me - and I might have known about it - (I forget a lot). I feel that the pineal gland is of foremost importance. I have heard that this gland calcifies as we age, but I know this is not necessary, and probably due to some toxin, nutri-deficiency, or etc. I have also heard that the pineal gland is calcified by both fluoride and related SSRIs. Studies have shown there is no dental benefit to the addition of fluoride to water - there may be benefit to fluoride in toothpastes. Rather, there are several correlations of fluoride (water) to some health problems. My guess is that fluoride will accelerate aging due to improper sleep; cause accelerated aging in skin; lower IQ and promote "lizard" thinking/stress-responses, (as in TeaBaggers or Nether People), and cause a diminishment of artistic and psychic awe. Which is how I feel this morning. I cannot gather what are the chemical properties of fluoride at the (cfs) moment, but interference with the Pineal is, according to me, interference with discrete and

I did not know that SSRIs are full of fluoride. And you don't write like a pickle-headed zombie. You must be dangerously smart when you're not feeling dull.
