According to a new study from Australia, childhood exposure to fluoride through public tap water isn’t associated with any emotional or behavioural issues, nor any negative executive functioning in adolescent years.
Childhood exposure to fluoride through public tap water isn’t associated with any emotional or behavioural issues, nor any negative executive functioning in adolescent years, according to a new study from Australia.
This mineral is also naturally occurring in water to varying levels. To create a standard for water quality, many municipalities and regions in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, among others, add fluoride to their water to achieve an optimal level for oral health. In this new study, researchers looked at data from Australia’s National Child Oral Health Study, which was originally run from 2012 to 2014. This study took a cross-sectional look at the child population aged 5-14 in Australia to examine how oral health varied by social characteristics.
They then compared the results of those who had spent their lives drinking fluoridated water to those who had not.
