Hello Folks
The following items on fluoride were sent by my good friend David
Horwood from Melbourne. Thanks as always, David!
Cheers

(1) Fluoride Fatigue (booklet) by Dr. Bruce Spittle is free to download
from www.pauapress.com in New Zealand. It is in pdf format and is 9.7
MB. Dr Spittle is the Managing Editor of Fluoride journal.
(2) A very lengthy submission on fluoridation from Paul Connett Ph.D.,

REDUCED IQ IN CHILDREN
FLUORIDE AND CHILDREN'S INTELLIGENCE: A META-ANALYSIS
This paper presents a systematic literature review conducted to
investigate whether fluoride exposure has increased the risk of low
intelligence quotient (IQ) scores in China over the past 20 years.
MEDLINE, SCI, and CNKI searches were organized for all documents
published in English and Chinese between 1988 and 2008, using the
following keywords: fluorosis, fluoride, intelligence, and IQ. Further
searches were undertaken on the website www.fluorideresearch.org because
this is a professional website concerning research on fluoride. Sixteen
case-control studies that assessed the development of low IQ in children
who had been exposed to fluoride early in life were included in this
review. A qualitative review of the studies found a consistent and
strong association between exposure to fluoride and low IQ. The
meta-analyses of the case-control studies estimated the odds ratio of IQ
in endemic fluoride areas compared with nonfluoride areas or slight
fluoride areas. The summarized weighted mean difference is –4.97 (95%
confidence interval [CI] = –5.58 to –4.36; p<0.01) using a fixed effect
model and – 5.03 (95% CI= –6.51 to –3.55; p<0.01) using a random-effect
mode, which was preferred in this study. Since the samples of two
studies were large and thus may have increased the heterogeneity, they
were eliminated from the sensitivity analysis. When these studies were
excluded singly or together, the sensitivity analysis still indicated
that the results of the study were reliable and stable. The children who
live in a fluorosis area have five times higher odds of developing a low
IQ than those who live in a nonfluorosis area or in a slight fluorosis
area.
