When modern reviews claim that the thyroid evidence on fluoride is “very poor” or “insufficient,” the problem is not a lack of evidence.
The problem is what the reviews have left out.

USA: "The grim reality is that 23-35 million pounds of pesticide ingredients used annually in the United States are PFAS. California has registered 53 PFAS pesticides. And about 2.5 million pounds of those poisons are applied annually to California cropland."

INDIA: Odisha Village Cries for Water as Fluoride-Contaminated Water Flows
A massive drinking water crisis has surfaced in Odisha’s Cuttack district.
Villagers of Dhaulia village under Mahanga block are allegedly forced to consume iron and fluoride-contaminated water due to the lack of safe drinking water facilities.
Despite the inauguration of a mega drinking water project, locals claim pipelines have still not reached the village.
With extreme heatwave conditions worsening the situation, people are struggling for every drop of clean water. Villagers say they have no option but to use unsafe tube well water for survival.

"What has been rejected in Europe cannot simply be moved elsewhere and repackaged as progress."
The Miteni plant in Trissino, Vicenza, produced fluorinated chemicals used in sectors such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, firefighting foams, fluorinated waxes, and ski waxes.
The company was found to have contaminated groundwater and drinking water across parts of Vicenza, Verona, and Padua.
In June 2025, 11 of 15 former Miteni managers were convicted in the first instance for serious environmental offences, including intentional water poisoning and deliberate environmental disaster. Prison sentences reportedly ranged up to 17 years and 6 months.

INDIA: Rajasthan facing deepening groundwater, fluoride crisis:
68 per cent of people in Nagaur showed signs of dental fluorosis and 24 per cent suffered from skeletal fluorosis.
Prolonged consumption of fluoride-contaminated water could lead to irreversible skeletal damage, kidney ailments and cardiovascular stress.
It also pointed to higher mortality indicators in fluoride-affected regions. Districts facing high fluoride contamination recorded infant mortality rates averaging 45.9 per 1,000 live births compared to 37.5 in relatively clean-water districts, the report said.
Barmer recorded the state's highest infant mortality rate at 56 per 1,000 live births.
More than 46 million people were estimated to be living in districts categorised as having ''high'' or ''extreme'' vulnerability.

Court overturns landmark fluoride ruling, sides with EPA.
A federal appeals court said the judge erred procedurally by relying on later evidence when ruling that fluoride poses an unreasonable risk to children’s brain development.

@terencemoo81299@FluoridePoison The Childsmile scam uses supervised toothbrushing with 1,450 ppm fluoride toothpaste in a "spit-don't rinse" program. Yet, since the program began, not a single study has investigated these children’s health, let alone dental fluorosis incidence.

@littlethingsmtr Banned because of cancer risk due to high iodine content. Something you apparently still "can't speak to" when it comes to the NTP fluoride report or your own MIREC studies. Who lost and who gained from this delay?

UK: High levels of toxic ‘forever chemicals’ found off coast of southern England. Study finds levels of toxic PFAS in Solent at 13 times safe limits in some places, with much coming from treated sewage.

9 out of 12 pesticide-related residues reported on Driscoll’s conventional strawberries were fluorinated compounds: Flonicamid, Fludioxonil, Flupyradifurone, Fluxapyroxad, Indoxacarb, Novaluron, Tetraconazole, TFNG, and Quinoxyfen.
Several of these residues also exceeded limits set in other countries.
USA: 'Forever Chemicals' Found in 98.8% of Human Blood Samples Tested
- More than 70 unique PFAS combinations were detected
- Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), which is used in textiles, furniture, and adhesives, was detected in 97.9 percent of samples tested.
- Individuals typically carry body burdens comprising five or more PFAS with differing bioaccumulation properties and half-lives.

The recent U.S. FDA characterization of baby formula as “safe” is entirely misleading.
In the FDA dataset, about two-thirds of the infant formulas tested had detectable PFAS. The highest levels were found in soy-based formula samples, especially powder soy-based formulas.
These detections were mainly driven by PFBA, with some soy powder samples containing around 30-34 ppt.

All fluoride compounds - inorganic (water or salt fluoridation, toothpaste, tea) and organic (PFAS, medications, etc.) - interfere with thyroid hormone metabolism and activity.
