New study links lower IQs with consumption of fluoridated water during pregnancy

[Subduction Zone]

I agree and stated that further studies to provide confirmation are needed. My point was that although I am not anti-fluoride at the moment, I am open to evidence to the contrary.

If any reliable evidence arises that fluoride at the levels found in drinking water is dangerous I too will be opposed to it. My point was that this study is far from conclusive or even apparently reliable.

Yes, we agree. It was too small, and it needs repetition on a larger scale to confirm results .I am interested to see where the research goes.

So Science-Based Medicine did a deep dive on the study. They note a bunch of red flags that call the conclusions into doubt:

Makes perfect sense to me. But why is this doing in our water supply?
