The impact of fluoride on children’s intelligence: A new study sparks debate

v4 months ago4 months ago06 mins

A groundbreaking study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in JAMA Pediatrics has raised serious concerns about the effects of fluoride on children’s brain development. The study, which analyzed 74 previous studies, found a strong correlation between higher fluoride levels in drinking water and lower IQ scores in children. This connection was particularly…

HAARP: Scientific research project or weather manipulation weapon?

v4 months ago4 months ago07 mins

The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) has been a subject of fascination, speculation, and controversy since its inception. Initially developed as a joint project by the United States Air Force, Navy, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), HAARP is now operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). Officially, its purpose is…

The debate over water fluoridation: Health risks and controversies

v4 months ago4 months ago011 mins

Water fluoridation has been a widespread public health practice for decades, introduced as a method to prevent dental cavities. However, in recent years, the practice has come under increasing scrutiny due to concerns over its potential health risks. Critics argue that the risks of fluoridated water far outweigh the benefits, citing research that links fluoride…
