Avoiding fluoride reduces Anemia, Pre-term and Low-weight babies

“Anemic pregnant women living in India, whose urine contained 1 mg/L fluoride or more, were separated into two groups. The experimental group avoided fluoride in water, food and other sources ...

Results reveal that anemia was reduced and pre-term and low-birth-weight babies were considerably fewer in the fluoride-avoidance group.”

In the US, researchers from the State University of New York also reported that premature births were more common in communities with fluoridated drinking water than those with non-fluoridated water.

High fluoride levels seem to damage the gastrointestinal mucosa - leading to impaired nutrient absorption and related problems:

Anemia (decreased red blood cells) - in pregnancy, this can result in both maternal and infant mortality; anemia persists even with the currently advised maternal iron and folic acid supplementation;

Reduced blood folic acid activity

Inhibition of vitamin B12 production

Non-absorption of nutrients for hemoglobin synthesis
