That isn't what the article says. It isn't even evaluation of other people's research, let alone novel research in itself. It's a "perspective" article commenting on human behavior. Meanwhile researchers who have conducted proper meta-analyses of the literature have come to a negative conclusion on this topic: In conclusion, based on the totality of currently available scientific evidence, the present review does not support the presumption that fluoride should be assessed as a human developmental neurotoxicant at the current exposure levels in Europe. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32382957/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32382957/

There have been a lot of studies done, dose-response studies too. It gets ignored in the US because of left-right polarization. Here are a few below. Believe what you want I guess but this is basically overwhelming evidence to me. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/fluoride-childrens-health-grandjean-choi/ https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/fluoride-children... https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2019/08/20/fluoride-and-iq-what-is-the-link-what-this-study-says/?sh=6d90be4e3cc6 https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2019/08/20/fluoride-an... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18695947/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18695947/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31424532/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31424532/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5285601/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5285601/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0892036214001809 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S08920...

  Thanks, and you can believe what you want as well. That said, let's note please that these are all associational, rather than cause-and-effect findings. The matter should definitely be explored further - but in my book I would need significant evidence of a causative relationship to check the "overwhelming evidence" box.
