"Tests of intelligence and brain function showed the same results whether or not people drank fluoridated water growing up, a highly anticipated, long-term study found.

The new research, published Monday in the respected Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood in the U.S. and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80."

@bich my mother gave us fluoride tablets when we were kids in the 1970’s NZ. My dentist said that was the best thing she could have done for our teeth. I’m nearly 58 and I haven’t drunk dairy milk for 55 years and my dentist said those fluoride tablets I chewed in the 1970’s did wonders for my teeth health.

Sure is a shame that RFK Jr.'s HHS and FDA are trying to remove fluoride tablets from the market, thus removing parents' choice to supplement.
