@WmCollinsBooks @cspencer1508 Please cease publication of any fluoride propaganda for use in schools or elsewhere. By increasing verbal and perceptual ability, lowering fluoride intake will pay off. https://t.co/9A6aQ5zFif https://t.co/AzHgr1FYSh https://t.co/CsTxUDnP9P https://t.co/7x3OfDPbZZ #fluorothink https://t.co/f2bR47jn0g

@jamiewaller2 Could it possibly be dismantled and rebuilt in an architectural museum costing £99 million? Urinary fluoride concentrations measured prenatally and during childhood corresponding to 0.72 mg/L were associated with lower perceptual reasoning. https://t.co/9A6aQ5zFif #fluorothink https://t.co/kMugjc1zVd
