Mm-hmm. What kinds of problems?

Mm-hmm. What kinds of problems?

Uh-huh. And can you put some numbers around this? I mean, when you say more tantrums, more anxiety, I mean, by how much?

Uh-huh. And can you put some numbers around this? I mean, when you say more tantrums, more anxiety, I mean, by how much?

Yeah. Okay. It's intriguing. I'm not... It's not a huge study. 200... people.

Yeah. Okay. It's intriguing. I'm not... It's not a huge study. 200... people.

I guess if I'm going to be honest about my biases here, I sort of wear Ashley, was before she did the study and she was drinking the water and her family member said, this causes brain damage. And she's like, absolutely not. And because I know the scientific status quo for so long has said, no, it's safe. So I can see myself looking for holes in this paper and

It's not a randomized controlled trial. So we can't say that the fluoride caused these differences. There might have been other differences between the groups. But what other studies show here?

Right, pregnant women, following pregnant women. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Right, pregnant women, following pregnant women. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

And looking at places with, like, not huge amounts of fluoride in their water, but kind of relatively low levels, the amount you'd find in a city in Australia or the U.S. that fluoridates their water. Yeah.

And looking at places with, like, not huge amounts of fluoride in their water, but kind of relatively low levels, the amount you'd find in a city in Australia or the U.S. that fluoridates their water. Yeah.

Yeah. Huh. Yeah.

Yeah. Huh. Yeah.

Oh, that's so confusing. Suggesting what? That in Ashley's studies, in those prenatal studies, it's not from drinking the water that's the problem, but from swallowing toothpaste?

No.

No.
