I wouldn't say that there is by any means a scientific consensus around that at this point, but at the same time, I don't think it's a fringe position within the worlds of environmental epidemiology or toxicology to say, we see a concerning signal here and this is something that we need to be paying more attention to. At the same time, you have some folks who are really skeptical of this research.

You have, especially in the world of dental public health, some researchers who say, we just don't think these studies are very good, and we don't think the evidence is nearly strong enough to be making these kinds of changes to a public health program. And you have other people outside the dental health world as well who are also raising some concerns about this research.

Yeah. You know, I think this is one of those areas where dismissing even having the conversation as being not okay, right, or saying even considering this is engaging a conspiracy theory has the potential to backfire. for people who have public health in mind.

I think, as I said before, it is not a fringe position right now within the world of environmental epidemiology and toxicology that there may at least be some signal here that researchers should be paying attention to. But I think this brings us back to this really deep question in

in public health, which is how do you communicate uncertainty and what does it look like to talk about uncertainty in public? And answering that is well above my pay grade, but I think it's something that we all do well to wrestle with.
