If you have been told that you don’t have obstructive sleep apnea but still can’t get a good night’s sleep, then this discussion is for you.

In this special episode, I will be having a conversation with with Dr. Barry Krakow, who will talk about his new landmark study on eclinicalmedicine, the online version of the prestigious journal Lancet. The title of the paper is Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial on the Efficacy of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Adaptive Servo-Ventilation in the Treatment of Chronic Complex Insomnia.

In the 2006 cult classic movie Idiocracy, the main character Joe Bauers takes part in a secret military hibernation experiment, but wakes up 500 years later into a dystopian world where commercialism and anti-intellectualism have run rampant, with IQ rates that have plummeted. He is found to be the smartest person in the world and is appointed to become the President. 

Whenever I see studies linking fluoride ingestion with lowered IQ rates, this movie comes to mind. Why an I concerned?

Adding fluoride to our nation’s water supply has been touted as a major public health success story, resulting in significantly lowered rates of cavities (~25%). However, ever since the inception of the program in 1945, there have been strong opinions for and against it. I’ve always had mixed feelings about fluoride, but over the years, a handful of studies linking fluoride levels to lowered IQ levels led me into a rabbit hole of confusing, often conflicting studies. What I explain in this article is my reason for coming to the conclusion that ultimately, we’re better off without fluoride in our water supply. 

Fluoride’s Link to Lower IQ

There have been a myriad of studies over many decades associating fluoride with various health conditions, including flourosis,  cancer, bone fractures, hypothyroidism, acne, earlier puberty in girls, pineal gland calcification, and lowered intelligence. Numerous arguments are made countering the above associations as well.  

A 2012 systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 studies over 22 years from Harvard combined all the highest quality studies on fluoride exposure and IQ, showing that children living in areas with higher fluoride exposure had significantly lower IQ scores (about 7 points). Needless to say, this study attracted a lot of headlines and media coverage.

In 2017, researchers from the the United States, Canada and Mexico found that children had a 6 point drop in IQ score with each 1 mg/L increase in maternal urine fluoride levels.  

Just last month in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers from York University in Toronto published results showing that in mothers living in areas of fluoride water during pregnancy (compared to non-fluoridated water) had children with lower IQ rates. They measured the mother’s urine fluoride levels as well as estimated fluoride intake levels based on dietary factors and local water supply fluoride concentrations. They found that for every 1 ml/L increase in maternal urine fluoride levels, IQ levels dropped by 4.5 points, but in boys only. When maternal fluoride intake was measured, IQ diminished by 3.7 points in both boys and girls.

This study went against the grain amongst the medical …

A Reason Why You May Be Chronically Sick and Tired

This week, I’m thrilled to play an encore of the interview I had in 2013 with one of the greatest sleep physicians of our time, Dr. Christian Guilleminault from Stanford University. He first described upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) in 1993. Along with Dr. Dement, he co-coined the term, OSAS. Sadly, he recently passed as at the age of 80. This episode is a tribute to his incredible contributions and legacy to the sleep community.
