According to Fluoride Action Network, the NAS strengthens findings on fluoride’s neurotoxicity

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), a non-profit group dedicated to education on fluoride’s toxicity, finds that the National Academies of Sciences’ (NAS) recent peer-review of the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) revised report, strengthens the NTP’s conclusion that «fluoride is presumed to be a cognitive neurodevelopmental hazard to humans» lowering the IQ of children.

FAN agrees with the NAS that the NTP should place «more emphasis» on the «marked consistency» of the evidence:

«… 44 of the 46 studies … indicate an association between higher fluoride exposures and lower IQ. Those results highlight the marked consistency in the current epidemiologic literature on fluoride and childhood IQ.»

FAN adds that its own analysis indicates 15 of the 17 highest quality lower-dose studies most relevant to water fluoridation demonstrated the same «marked consistency» as did higher-exposure studies.

FAN agrees with the NAS that NTP should not make definitive statements about fluoride’s effects at low doses until a «dose-response» analysis has been performed. This has been falsely interpreted by fluoridation defenders to imply that that lower doses are not neurotoxic!

In reality, the best human studies (Bashash 2017, 2018; Green 2019; Till 2020) have found neurotoxic harm to occur at current exposure levels for people living in fluoridated communities. When FAN and others have used the methods advocated by the NAS they predict a safe reference dose (RfD) which is extremely low. A pre-print study by Grandjean et al. report a very low safe reference dose needed to protect the fetus. FAN’s analysis confirms their conclusion.

As far as exposure to the fetus or the bottle-fed infant is concerned, we believe, as with lead, there is «no safe level» for exposure to fluoride.

The NAS made numerous technical suggestions to improve the «clarity» of the document. FAN agrees these would improve and strengthen the NTP report, but they are unlikely to alter the NTP’s conclusion that fluoride is a «presumed» developmental neurotoxicant.

According to Paul Connett, FAN director, «There is enough scientific evidence to conclude that both pregnant women and parents’ bottle-feeding infants, be warned to avoid fluoride. The only responsible thing now is for U.S. regulatory bodies to halt their support of water fluoridation. An immediate moratorium should be imposed so that no further damage is done to the mental development of children while further investigations are conducted.»

Southern States see the Greatest Disparities Between Healthcare Costs and Middle-Class Income

SEATTLE, Feb., 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new report found workers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas contribute, on average, the highest percentage of their income to out-of-pocket health coverage costs. Recent trends in health care costs, health care coverage and household income have contributed to growing disparities between different income groups in the United States.

Analysts at…

Analysts at QuoteWizard looked at data from The Commonwealth Fund to see where residents are paying a larger share of their income towards health insurance premiums and deductibles.

View the full report here: https://quotewizard.com/news/posts/disparity-between-healthcare-costs-and-middle-class-income

Key findings:

Nearly 32 million workers (21% of the U.S. workforce) would benefit from raising the federal minimum wage.
Workers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas contribute, on average, the highest percentage of their income to out-of-pocket health coverage costs.
In Hawaii, Washington and Massachusetts, the middle class contributes the least of their income towards health premiums and deductibles.
Forty-two states contribute more than 10% of their incomes towards out-of-pocket health costs.
Nationally, those with middle income pay $7,388 yearly in deductibles and health premiums combined.

Methodology
To find out which states have the largest disparities between middle-class income and out-of-pocket health insurance costs (premiums and deductibles), QuoteWizard analyzed The Commonwealth Fund’s state-by-state report on «Insurance Costs Taking Larger Share of Middle-Class Incomes as Premium Contributions and Deductibles Grow Faster Than Wages.» We compiled 2019 employee contributions to yearly health insurance premiums and average deductible costs and compared them to each state’s median income. Median middle-class income data was sourced from the U.S. Census. States with the highest average percentages of income that go to out-of-pocket health insurance costs are ranked closer to 1 (worst) and states that had relatively lower health insurance costs compared to income ranked closer to 50 (best).

Bekha Bon.’s new book Juventud Incauta, a poignant recounting of a woman thrust into a life of crime and incarceration at a very young age

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Juventud Incauta was created by Bekha Bon. Bekha is an author who was born in Havana, Cuba. After having lived both positive and negative experiences, she decided to put them at the service of humanity, hoping that her trajectory could serve others.

<a…

Bekha Bon. said this about his book: «These pages bring together the heartbreaking story of a young Spanish woman named Rosario who, at only nineteen years old, was dragged by organized crime in Bolivia into an abyss of hardship within the different prisons in which she served her sentence on North American soil. This fact placed Bekha Bon in the citizen’s commitment to narrate a chronicle that speaks of the imminent danger faced by many of the young people—those who, attracted by the adventure they imagine they will find and the prosperity they dream of, end up entangled in twisted networks that crime professionals constantly weave; those who daily reinvent new ways and means with the sole purpose of transporting their cargo to US soil. Unconscionable efforts, which end up turning our boys into ‘blind pack mules,’ usually end up paying for a crime they did not actually commit.

The story is not a simple story; it is the only way that she found to reach people—a truth that many do not want to talk about. Using this event as a vehicle, she exposes the harsh reality of those who, when caught, end up being victims of this growing scourge.

The book is aimed at young people eager for adventure—those who fear nothing—to whom their unconsciousness and folly can become their worst enemies. However, the plot presented in this story will arouse the interest of any reader regardless of age, gender, or literary preferences.»

Published by Page Publishing, Bekha Bon.’s new book Juventud Incauta follows the harrowing life of a young woman who only knew the toils of crime and bondage—a riveting depiction of real-life circumstances of people stained by corruption.

Consumers who wish to view a person’s journey from grace to downfall that greatly affected her life can purchase Juventud Incauta online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

El nuevo libro de Bekha Bon, Juventud Incauta, una gran historia sobre las trampas que el crimen les tiende a jóvenes incautos

NEW YORK, 16 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El reciente lanzamiento del libro Juventud Incauta por Bekha Bon de la editorial Page Publishing, la historia no es un simple relato, es la única forma que la autora encontró para hacer llegar a la gente, una verdad de la que muchos no quieren hablar. Usando como vehículo este suceso, expone la dura realidad que viven esos que, al ser atrapados, terminan siendo víctimas de crímenes atroces.

<div id="prni_dvprnejpg1860left" style="WIDTH: 100%;…

Rebekha Bonachea Becerra, a quien conocemos como Bekha Bon, nació el 26 de Marzo de 1959, en la Habana Cuba. Fue la primera hija de dos hermanas, que, aunque crecieron en un hogar humilde, nunca sufrieron penurias a pesar del cambio político que se dio en la isla por aquellos tiempos.

Como estudiante, nunca fue la mejor de su clase, sin embargo, terminó el bachillerato y de no haber sido por el éxodo masivo que se produjo en 1980, seguramente hubiera llegado a ser periodista, pero prefirió cambiar sus sueños de estudiante, por libertad. Sabía que tras aquel inmenso mar que rodeaba su patria, había un mundo que el régimen comunista por aquellos años, les negaba conocer, así que en cuanto tuvo la primera oportunidad fue en busca de él.

Después de haber vivido, experiencias tanto positivas como negativas, decidió ponerlas al servicio de la humanidad, con la esperanza de que su trayectoria pueda servir a otros.

Estas páginas reúnen la desgarradora historia de una joven española llamada Rosario, quien, con solo diecinueve años, el crimen organizado en Bolivia la arrastró a un abismo de penurias dentro de las diferentes prisiones en las que purgó su condena, en suelo norteamericano. Hecho este, que situó a Bekha Bon, en el compromiso ciudadano de narrar una crónica que habla del inminente peligro que corren muchos de los jóvenes, los que atraídos por la aventura que imaginan encontrarán, y la prosperidad soñada, terminan enredados en las retorcidas redes que constantemente tejen los profesionales del crimen, los que se reinventan a diario nuevas formas y vías, con el único propósito de transportar sus cargamentos hacia suelo estadounidense. Desmedido empeño, que terminan convirtiendo a nuestros muchachos en «mulas de carga ciegas», que por lo regular acaban pagando por un delito, que en realidad no cometieron.
