The read Glen’s take, in his words
Fluoride in drinking water is one of the most politically charged topics in public health. So let me tell you how I approach it.
My only test is the peer-reviewed science. Not the politics on either side. A 2024 NIH-funded systematic review found clear associations between maternal fluoride exposure and lower IQ in children at levels above 1.5 milligrams per liter.
That's not a fringe study. It was funded by a federal science agency. It passed rigorous review. And it deserves honest engagement — not dismissal, not panic.
I put this page together to lay out what the data actually says, so you can make an informed decision for your family. No ideology. Just evidence.
Read it carefully.
