> The IQ link is very heavily lacking in evidence.

Not really: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/...

your study has been heavily criticized where you already posted it:

I can only assume once you see those very valid criticisms, you will update your references

  • Does the study not literally refute the claim that fluoride's negative impact on IQ is lacking in evidence, contrary to the original claim? What exactly do you think needs to be updated?

    • the original refutation was "fluoride in the drinking water concentrations is proven safe and it doesn't affect brains". Your study does not show that IQ is effected at concentrations that are being added to water supplies. Just because X can result from Y levels of some substance does't mean X results from Y-n concentrations.
