How could you even measure “lower IQ” if it were only a few points lower? Makes no sense.

I’m quite sure the details of how they measured that are in the research study itself if you read it.
Again, I don’t understand what people are arguing. They’re not telling everyone that fluoride is poison. They are simply publishing the results of a study that in the end recommends pregnant women try to limit how much fluoride is in their system. Is that really such a big controversy? They also recommend pregnant women don’t eat more than two or three cans of tuna week, because of the mercury. Is that a fear mongering conspiracy too? Or simply a recommendation for women who for the most part want to do everything they can to have as healthy and happy baby as possible and don’t mind drinking bottled or filtered water for nine months. Which most of us do anyway, pregnant or not.
It really wasn’t even aimed at consumers, it was published in a medical journal for other doctors.
Again, I really don’t understand what people are upset about with this study.
