How Does Fluoride Affect the Pineal Gland?

For much of the 1900s, very little research was conducted to study the effect of fluoride accumulation on brain health. By the 1950s, the subject started to garner attention among a number of scientists, researchers, and dental health professionals. In 1990, a major milestone was reached when Dr. Jennifer Luke asked the question: How does the accumulation of fluoride affect the hard and soft tissues of the body?

Dr. Luke narrowed her study to the effect of fluoride on the Pineal gland, a small organ located in the center of the brain. Specifically, she focused on how fluoride accumulation affects the ability of the Pineal gland to secrete melatonin, a very important chemical that helps to regulate sleeping patterns as well as the onset of puberty.
