"The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.* Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. Thus, children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas. The children studied were up to 14 years of age, but the investigators speculate that any toxic effect on brain development may have happened earlier, and that the brain may not be fully capable of compensating for the toxicity."

What's funny about that?

Do you have any independent studies to support that claim?
Fluoride is a neurotoxin. Is an alleged 25% decrease in cavities worth brain damage?

Putting people's health at risk by reducing their fluoride intake?
You're going to have to explain that one.

Most people don't have any sort of logical consistency in their beliefs, nor do they think things through. They tend to just accept the status quo and think anything not that is bad and wrong.
