Fluoride!

Water containing high levels of fluoride could hurt your IQ (http://www.aol.com/article/2014/08/25/water-containing-high-levels-of-fluoride-could-hurt-your-iq/20952161/?icid=maing-grid7|maing15|dl22|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D520997)

funny considering new englanders always rank highest in the nation at things like education achievement and IQ

Maybe but this could explain their radical left-leaning slant up there

Yeah probably not.

Portland OR is probably the most radically left-leaning major city in the entire USA, their water does not contain flouride....

So the Anti Flouride folks snookered AOL into buying one of its press releases. Then MadeFromDust goes ever further than what AOL said.

That Havard Study was a review of Studies done mainly in China.

http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2012/07/Media-Statement_Fluoride-9-12-12-Revised2.pdf

--Our study summarized the findings of 27 studies on intelligence tests in fluoride-exposed children; 25
of the studies were carried out in China. On average, children with higher fluoride exposure showed
poorer performance on IQ tests. Fluoride released into the ground water in China in some cases greatly exceeded levels that are typical in the U.S.
--In general, complete information was not available on these 27 studies, and some limitations were
identified.
--All but one of the 27 studies documented an IQ deficit associated with increased fluoride exposure.
--These results do not allow us to make any judgment regarding possible levels of risk at levels of
exposure typical for water fluoridation in the U.S. On the other hand, neither can it be concluded that no
risk is present. We therefore recommend further research to clarify what role fluoride exposure levels
may play in possible adverse effects on brain development, so that future risk assessments can properly
take into regard this possible hazard.
