Scientists Warn of Link Between, Fluoride , and Negative Health Outcomes <br/>When Pregnant .<br/>'Newsweek' reports that scientists have urged expectant mothers <br/>not to drink unfiltered tap water, exposing a link between <br/>exposure to fluoride and disruptions in fetal brain development. .<br/>'Newsweek' reports that scientists have urged expectant mothers <br/>not to drink unfiltered tap water, exposing a link between <br/>exposure to fluoride and disruptions in fetal brain development. .<br/>In 1962, the United States Public Health Service <br/>(USPHS) recommended that public water contain <br/>fluoride in an effort to prevent tooth decay. .<br/>As a result, 3 in 4 Americans <br/>receive water that has been <br/>fortified with fluoride. .<br/>While the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and <br/>Prevention (CDC) and the USPHS say fluoride <br/>consumption at levels set by the government are safe.<br/>opponents to the fluoridation of the water supply argue that <br/>potential health impacts of even low level fluoride exposure <br/>have been identified, particularly for developing fetuses. .<br/>opponents to the fluoridation of the water supply argue that <br/>potential health impacts of even low level fluoride exposure <br/>have been identified, particularly for developing fetuses. .<br/>According to a new study, maternal fluoride exposure <br/>was associated with a near-doubling increase in <br/>the risk of the child developing neurobehavioral problems.<br/>The team's findings were published <br/>in the journal 'JAMA Network Open.'.<br/>These neurobehavioral problems <br/>include emotional reactivity, headaches, <br/>anxiety and symptoms linked to autism.<br/>Our results showed that higher <br/>fluoride levels in mother's urine were <br/>associated with significantly increased neurodevelopmental problems in their <br/>three-year-old children, especially <br/>for internalizing problems <br/>like depression and anxiety, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public <br/>health science and senior author of the study, via Newsweek.<br/>Our results showed that higher <br/>fluoride levels in mother's urine were <br/>associated with significantly increased neurodevelopmental problems in their <br/>three-year-old children, especially <br/>for internalizing problems <br/>like depression and anxiety, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public <br/>health science and senior author of the study, via Newsweek.<br/>These results are very concerning <br/>from a public health perspective, <br/>given that the majority of U.S. <br/>communities have fluoridated water, Tracy Bastain, Associate professor of clinical population and public <br/>health science and senior author of the study, via Newsweek.<br/>'Newsweek' reports that the authors of the study say more <br/>research is \
