Fluoride Exposure and Children’s IQ Scores: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

A new study was published in JAMA Pediatrics January 6, 2025. From the conclusion:

This systematic review and meta-analysis found inverse associations and a dose-response association between fluoride measurements in urine and drinking water and children’s IQ across the large multicountry epidemiological literature. There were limited data and uncertainty in the dose-response association between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ when fluoride exposure was estimated by drinking water alone at concentrations less than 1.5 mg/L. 

I reported on a couple previous studies which I’ll link below.
