Note from the Fluoride Action Network: It’s worth noting that this review paper did not include these important Mother-Offspring studies: Bashash-2017, Valdez-Jimenez-2017, Green-2019. Nor did it include the ADHD study by Bashash-2018. Perhaps it was too late for the authors  to have included the Green IQ study published in August 2019, the Riddell -October 2019 study on ADHD, and the IQ study by Till in November 2019. It did include one Mother-Offspring study listed by FAN (Li-2008)
