I think the study could be flawed due to the fact that the flouride source is largely the water supply of cities. The sheer disgust I have for what amasses in the walls of those pipes, my gosh what a health risk, and so many drink it. I have my own well and it is wonderfully delicious and healthy water.

This thread will get shilled to hell, I have posted about fluoride before, posting links and studies from top universities and the shills just shout you are a conspiracy tard.
Drinking fluoride is bad for you.

Queefing during conception could impact the IQ of a baby. The real question is, how much does it lower the IQ?

>>10904317
it is actually funny you should mention this

in my city there was recently found e. coli in the water supply and the only reason I found out about it was because my university sent me an email about it and I only checked it by chance

>"It's actually very similar to the effect size that's seen with childhood exposure to lead," says David Bellinger, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital. He reviewed the paper before it was published and wrote a commentary about it.

>He says it's important not to read too much into a single study, but this one certainly raises important issues.

>Though it will no doubt play into the decades-long controversy over whether to add fluoride to public water supplies, he says that is misleading. The study found even in cities that had fluoridated water, women got most of their fluoride from other sources, such as food, tea and toothpaste, "so I think it's a mistake to focus too much on the water fluoridation piece here."

The study could be flawed because of all the semen in the water supply.
