ScienceThe study, published in PNAS, examined Wisconsin state testing records, archival information about when Wisconsin cities began to fluoridate their water, and data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, which has followed a random sample of 10,317 high school seniors from 1957 through 2026. Key findings include:
- There is no evidence supporting a connection between community water fluoridation and children’s IQ.
- There is also no evidence supporting a connection between community water fluoridation and cognitive functioning at various points later in life.
- Findings confirm evidence published in previous research which also used a national sample, but considered school achievement test scores instead of actual IQ scores.
Dammit. Why have I been drinking all this water then?
Damn it. I was gonna come in here and be like, "Ah, that's what big fluoride wants you to think, sheeple!"
You know, like a crazy person.
But it turns out the actual crazy people who truly believe that stupid shit are already out in full force.
Obligatory
No one is mentioning that it calcifies the pineal gland which prevents natural secretion of DMT as well as the ability to use our minds to travel.
This comment section is so bonkers, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Not at all. It’s why I switched to a zero water filter. Drinking water with fluoride messes with our ability to reach our full potential, and at a time when that’s the most possible thanks to knowledge of the most effective techniques to do so.
But shouldn't it? That's what is claimed. But I'm certain enough there's a large enough populace that doesn't drink tap water to confound results.
Huh? It's there for cavity prevention.
Read any scientific literature?
Yes, regularly.
Useless. Report findings or like... Seriously? What's your point?
"Yes, regularly."
Like how often you get fucked?
Are you having a stroke?
I'll accept the null answer.

The usefulness of fluoride is pretty well established at this point. If you have new data, please share it.
I'm going to post this again, because everyone needs to fucking understand that science is studying results and a process:
What about autoimmune diseases and inflammation? It looks like there might be a link, but they haven't studied it enough.
Based on the body surface area of humans and animals, and considering the metabolism and absorption of fluoride in rats, according to calculations, the WHO’s safety threshold for fluoride intake from drinking water (1.5 mg/L) corresponds to a fluoride concentration of 10 mg/L in the drinking water of rats. After 1 week of acclimatization, the 150 rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups (n = 30) and provided with drinking water containing 0, 10, 25, 50, or 100 mg/L of fluoride. Although 50 and 100 mg/L are not equivalent to the doses humans are exposed to in natural environments, they are commonly used in animal models of fluorosis and have been widely demonstrated to be robust in rat models of fluorosis [35,36,37]. According to the exposure mode and time of fluoride, it can be divided into three modes: fluoride treatment for 12 weeks (12 w), fluoride treatment for 24 weeks (24 w), and fluoride treatment for 12 weeks and 12 weeks of improve water(12 w12 wi) (Table S1). Rats were euthanized with isoflurane anesthesia at the end of the breeding period.

"We gave rats 6.66 times more than humans are exposed to and bad stuff happened."
That's really not a good methodology.
That doesn't clearly communicate the levels of fluoride necessary to show such a response.
That's the part where they need to study it more.
Or they could have just shared that information from the study.
