Dr Paul Connett attacks the 2014 study ‘Community Water Fluoridation and Intelligence: Prospective Study in New Zealand’. You can watch the video here: The main quote from Dr Connett is: “It was an awful study, it has been debunked, because there was practically no control, you had 1400 people living [...]
We have had plenty of gish gallopers on the Making Sense of Fluoride Facebook page and dealing with one is usually a waste of time. You would spend many long hours reading and then debunking materials. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes if you are quick enough you get a nice win. The Gish Gallop [...]
Recently there was an editorial piece by the Boston Globe Editorial Board on How we learned to stop worrying and love fluoridated water.

Again I wish to thank Rita for acknowledging in that papers should be referenced accurately by using citations to the original sources rather than simply referring to activist [...]
Gerry Byrne, who runs Fluoridation of Irish Water is Harmless Facebook page sent this to Dublin City Councillors today: Lifting the Curtain on the Anti-Fluoridation movement A recent email to your good selves from a Mr Owen Boyden, of the Fluoride Free Towns campaign, has led me to follow the trail of money [...]

I like to thank Rita for getting an independent review of her article from several scientists and agreeing that one should use primary research and not advocacy groups. I’ll be doing [...]
