"In case you think this study is damning by faint praise, remember water fluoridation is endorsed by nearly every public health organization in the world – American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, World Health Organization, and CDC. This clearly represents a scientific consensus on fluoride in water.
As long as the health risks are minimal (or cosmetic), and the benefits have been shown over and over, this study provides no reason to stop water fluoridation. But what it does ask is, how can we do it better? How can we make sure those who have little access to quality dental care be protected? Those are important questions. That’s how science-based medicine works, continually asking questions to get better data to improve health care."
