Children in households with water treated with fluoride appear to be at a much higher risk of autism, according to a shock study.
Researchers discovered a staggering six-fold increase in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses among children who grew up fully exposed to fluoride versus those who did not consume the treated water.
The team from the nonprofit medical research group Institute of Chronic Illnesses Inc in Maryland looked at health records from 1990 to 2012, studying over 73,000 children in Florida during the first 10 years of their lives.
