Yep, and I haven't seen a bit of harm. How can you measure I.Q. when (a) they have done their best to eliminate objective intellectual testing, and (b) seriously deficient schooling promotes bottom-of-the-barrel thinking? Children have far more to fear intellectually from their negligent parents and brain-washing teachers, than from safe levels of fluoride.
I've heard of this concern since before I was a teenager, back in the 1950s. I have always wondered what the evidence was, since it was impossible to notice on any practical level. This was back when everyone was also freaking out over DDT in the food chain. It has since turned out that DDT is innocuous; the birdshell brittleness came from birds that were fed diets deficient in calcium and phosphorus... Meanwhile, millions of children have needlessly died from malaria and other insect-borne lethal diseases.
FINALLY!! Gawd, how long has this been going on!! Decades.
