Im sorry, but I think it’s ridiculous that thinking something that knows off an IQ point or two isn’t a big deal.

For one, we’re literally making everyone slightly less intelligent. While it’s a very small factor, I sure as hell wouldn’t want that for my daughters.

For two, IQ is easy to measure. Through that, we know it’s affecting the brain during development. How else is it affecting it? We don’t know.

Weighed against potentially higher risk of cavities pretty much only during childhood and the math seems incredibly clear to me. I feel like the only reason we haven’t banned adding it to water supplies is because people have a knee jerk reaction to anything that sounds even vaguely anti-vax nowadays.

The fact that until 10 years ago the US allowed significantly higher levels should be a really big deal to people.

I’m on reverse osmosis well water so it doesn’t matter to me personally, for what it’s worth.
