Should we lower IQ in exchange for better looking teeth?

I'm not sure what you're suggesting.

You better have some proof that it lowers IQ. An easy piece of evidence would be to list the IQ statistics of the countries in your graph.

Nothing in that chart is indicative of a correlation between water fluoridation and IQ. Does go to show that fluoridation x dental condition is also insignificant.

This, fluoridation should be stopped simply because it's clearly not having the intended effect

look like only anglo country fluoride their water.
Can other non-anglo country confirm this?

There's no control for natural fluoridation and dental fluoridation, so it doesn't show that. The only thing it shows is that tooth decay has dropped to the same levels in those countries.

you cant infer the effect of fluoridation just by looking at that chart.

We should ditch the processed foods with lots of sugar instead

Rich people in america filter their water. If you don't know this its because you are poor or nouveau riche

If the content of sugar in foods has gone up shouldn't the number of cavities have also gone up?

WHAT HAS NASA BEEN UP TO

>> No.9075654

it is a scientific fact that many poor countries where children do not eat fish and vegetables in their early years have underdeveloped brains (and thus, lower iq).
