New studies published this year revealed neurological damage as well as skeletal and tooth issues among those who consume fluoridated water. They're added to several previous studies that have made those same connections.

The studies reveal even expectant mothers who drink fluoridated water adversely affect their newborns' nervous systems. Fluorides go through the placenta with ease. Feeding newborns with formulas containing fluoride or mixed in fluoridated water exacerbate the damage.

Yet there are many who support water fluoridation despite the evidence, especially within the dental profession.
