A federal judge last week ruled that the levels of fluoride added to drinking water in the United States poses an “unreasonable risk” of reduced IQ in children. Judge Edward Chen of the U.S. District Court of California ruled that a significant amount of evidence exists showing fluoride exposure may damage human health, particularly pregnant mothers and young children. The ruling concludes a years-long suit against the Environmental Protection Agency over fluoridation of the country’s water supply. The EPA has been ordered to lower the risks but did not dictate what measures to take.
