Did you ever see/read the original series of papers on these trials?
Additional material on these early experiments is contained in the
papers of Henry Trendley Dean and Ruth Roy Harris, at the National
Library of Medicine. Guess what they reveal? Anything but proof of a
fluoride effect!

It does neither.

This is your view. What is indeed "significant" is the influence of the
so-called "confounding variables"! Nothing else. And "indisputable"
means that you are not interested in any discussion. So why should I
elaborate? Just to be ignored for saying what nobody here wants to
hear/read? I´m not interested in wasting time. I´ll elaborate on that
elsewhere.
