whether consuming fluoridated water affects children's IQ

Asked by Lord Colwyn

To Ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether consuming fluoridated water affects children's IQ.[HL2399]
Answered by:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Earl Howe): We are not aware of any robust evidence of a detrimental effect on children's IQ from water in which the fluoride content has been adjusted to the one-part-per-million level used in fluoridation schemes in England.

Have they looked for evidence?
