New research found a link between higher fluoride exposure in pregnant women and a greater risk of neurobehavioral problems in their children at age 3.
New research could point to a hidden risk of fluoride in early development. The study found a link between higher fluoride exposure in pregnant women and a greater risk of their children later being diagnosed with neurobehavioral problems by age 3. The findings do not confirm a cause-and-effect link, but they do warrant further investigation, the study authors say. The research was led by scientists at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine.
“Women with higher fluoride exposure levels in their bodies during pregnancy tended to rate their 3-year-old children higher on overall neurobehavioral problems and internalizing symptoms, including emotional reactivity, anxiety and somatic complaints,” said senior study author Tracy Bastain, an associate professor of clinical population and public health sciences at USC, in a statement from the university.
