Edit: Ah yes. Facts and citations are downvoted in /v/Conspiracy. I forgot about that.

Actual title: "Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" What they actually studied: Areas with toxic levels of fluoride. These are levels far above those used in developed nations.

Although acute fluoride poisoning may be neurotoxic to adults, most of the epidemiological information available on associations with children’s neurodevelopment is from China, where fluoride generally occurs in drinking water as a natural contaminant, and the concentration depends on local geological conditions. In many rural communities in China, populations with high exposure to fluoride in local drinking-water sources may reside in close proximity to populations without high exposure (NRC 2006).

Is @tccl a tool? Yes.
