Fluoride: A Hidden Neurotoxin in Our Water and Toothpaste?

Fluoride is a chemical added to over 70 percent of municipal tap water supplies in the United States under the claim that it prevents tooth decay

But mounting scientific evidence now shows that fluoride is a neurotoxin that may be silently damaging your brain, particularly in children.

Studies published in respected journals such as The Lancet Neurology and Environmental Health Perspectives classify fluoride as a developmental neurotoxin—in the same category as lead, mercury, and arsenic.

Prolonged exposure has been linked to:

  • Reduced IQ in children
  • Lower cognitive performance
  • Endocrine disruption
  • Pineal gland calcification
  • Increased risk of thyroid dysfunction

How Fluoride Affects the Brain

Fluoride accumulates in the brain and particularly targets the pineal gland, the center for melatonin production and spiritual insight. Once calcified, the pineal gland loses its regulatory functions, affecting sleep cycles, mood, and even hormonal balance.

In children, fluoride exposure in utero and early development has been linked to measurable declines in IQ. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) reviewed hundreds of studies and concluded there is consistent evidence for fluoride’s neurodevelopmental harm at current exposure levels.

The Dark History of Fluoride: A Chemical Scam?

Fluoride was originally a toxic byproduct of aluminum and fertilizer manufacturing. In the 1940s, instead of paying to dispose of it, industries collaborated with public health officials to rebrand fluoride as a dental health product.

With no long-term safety studies, the U.S. began adding it to drinking water in 1945.

Influential figures, including Edward Bernays—known as the “father of propaganda”—were hired to manipulate public perception. They framed anyone opposed to fluoridation as “anti-science” or “conspiracy theorists.”

But today, countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Japan have banned fluoride in public water, citing health risks.

Turmeric: A Natural Fluoride Detoxifier

One of the most powerful and natural ways to remove fluoride from the brain is through turmeric (Curcuma longa). Rich in curcumin, turmeric has been shown in studies to reverse neurotoxicity, reduce oxidative stress, and even restore pineal gland function.

How Turmeric Helps:

  • Crosses the blood-brain barrier
  • Reduces inflammation in neural tissues
  • Supports glutathione production for detox
  • Breaks down fluoride accumulation in the brain and body
Pair turmeric with other fluoride detoxifiers like iodine, boron, fulvic acid, and selenium for maximum effect.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Be Fooled

We’ve been sold a lie for decades—that fluoride is essential for dental health. But the truth is, it’s a neurotoxic industrial waste product with serious long-term consequences for the brain, hormones, and overall health.

It’s time to question the narrative, detox our minds and bodies, and return to holistic, evidence-based self-care. Fluoride-free living is possible—and nature offers powerful tools like turmeric to help you heal.

    Hi Anya V and PSI Readers,

    Anya V, you are a journalist who cleverly distorts facts. Your article began ‘Fluoride is a chemical added to over 70 percent of municipal tap water supplies in the United States under the claim that it prevents tooth decay.” This is an example of how easy it is to distort facts with one false word: “prevents”. The words it replaces is “greatly reduces”. And that flouride greatly reduces tooth decay is not only a claim; it is an OBSERVED fact.

    Have a good day

    its time to question just why we ‘need’ government

    If you compare average age of death and data for dementia etc there is no difference between Germany – no fluoride in water and the UK – fluoride in water .

    Hi Richard,

    Do Germans use tooth paste with fluoride or fluorine containing compounds?

    Have a good day
