In 2014 the Chief Science Advisor and the NZ Royal Society produced a report on fluoridation. Their conclusion on fluoride and IQ contained a blatant lie.
The Report claims the loss of 7 IQ points (described as “less than one standard deviation”) found in a 2012 Harvard review of human fluoride-IQ studies “is likely to be a measurement or statistical artifact of no functional significance.” This conclusion is a blatant lie. If the truthful conclusion had been reported, it would have said “is likely to be a measurement OF functional significance”, the whole trajectory of fluoridation in New Zealand would have been entirely different.
Everyone in New Zealand should be aware of this deception.
