      Very rude of that community to not conform to what you wanted them to do instead of just experiencing the effects of unfluoridated tap water, smh.

      If you’re going to nitpick their methodology I’m sure you won’t mind sharing your own published studies on the matter, right? TIA.

        Eh, this was fun, but I’m getting bored. 😉 I’m kidding. However, that’s less a study and more a statistical analysis. One that failed to correct for any known issues that might cause unexpected results. I did find an interesting link earlier, I might try checking some of their sources. If I find anything interesting, well… I’ll have forgotten about this, so maybe I’ll update, maybe not! 😝
