A new study linking higher fluoride exposure to lower IQ scores in children has reignited the debate surrounding fluoridated water. Researchers analyzed 74 studies and found a statistically significant association, estimating a 1.63 point IQ drop for every 1 mg/L increase in urinary fluoride. While proponents cite the dental benefits of fluoridation, critics raise concerns about potential neurological harm and methodological limitations of the study. The research raises questions about current water fluoridation guidelines and the need for further investigation.
