Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity

The Lancet ^ | March 2014 | Dr Philippe Grandjean MD

[snip] .... In 2006, we did a systematic review and identified five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Since 2006, epidemiological studies have documented six additional developmental neurotoxicants—manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers. We postulate that even more neurotoxicants remain undiscovered. To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, we propose a global prevention strategy.

If you guessed fluoride.....go to the head of the class. ;)

So! That will probably be removed from toothpaste and all our teeth will rot before we are sixty.

[Black Agnes]

My children have never had fluoridated water or fluoridated toothpaste. They’ve had a sum total of one cavity between them.

K2/D3 and appropriate minerals are involved in tooth formation and maintenance.

[Aria]

The city where I live does not have fluoride put in the water and I’m doing fine.

Don’t use it in my toothpaste either. As I recall it’s really a poison.

[Daffynition]

LOL....someone already said they’d rather go to a psychiatrist for autism....than a dentist.

[Moose Burger]

So... they discover now that DDT is toxic? Not surprised.

[Valpal1]

Every thing is a poison at the right dose. However many things have very useful applications at less than toxic doses.

"All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison…." Paracelsus (1493-1541)

It's too bad more people today aren't as smart as one guy was 500 years ago.

[null and void]

Not particularly toxic. We used to ride our bikes in the DDT cloud behind the fogger trucks and watch the skeeters drop dead out of the air around us. I'm still *twitch* doing fine *twitch**twitch*.

[B4Ranch]

Brush with H2O2.

[aimhigh]

What’s amazing is that last year, liberal Portland Oregon voted down a proposal to fluoridate their water. Good!

If I had a penny for every toxin I’d been exposed to I’d be a billionaire.

Hormesis.

Journolisters with the MSM have had several months to publish on this research.

One wonders why they haven’t.

[Black Agnes]

One wonders why you need to link this particular research and its validity to a political organization?

Do you sell fluoride compounds for a living or something?

[Black Agnes]

OOps, meant to post this to you:

I’m curious why the outlet that publishes the Lancet article matters.

[AppyPappy]

“Do you sell fluoride compounds for a living or something?”

Nah, I just find conspiracy theories fascinating. The JBS wrote the book on them.

So what’s the connection between Fluoride and European Jewish Bankers?

[Black Agnes]

“Nah, I just find conspiracy theories fascinating. The JBS wrote the book on them.”

Now the Lancet is a conspiracy theory publication?

I read the article in question in the Lancet. Perhaps you can point to the bit in that publication that concerns European Jewish Bankers? I seem to have missed that.

[Black Agnes]

Apparently there are a lot of conspiracy theories at PubMed!

Who knew!?

etc.

Many more like this at pubmed.

[Black Agnes]

I’m waiting for your insider information that The Lancet is a conspiracy theory publication.

Do tell!
