Well if Fluoride did indeed lower IQ, then you'd imagine that you would see a trend of lowering IQ since it was first introduced into our water systems in the 40's.....This is NOT the case. IQ's have been steadily rising for at least the past century at an average rate of 3 points per year.
You would imagine there to be a sudden drop of IQ at around the time it was introduced....but no, this is clearly not the case...Therefore this idea is pretty easily debunked.

Well then you really need to look at his history. It's not hidden and it's not warped. It's all available on youtube for your consumption in all it's glory and disappointment. It's no secret that he perpetuates a two sided hypocrisy in what he says and what he does. I forget the exact name of the video where he appears in the rally in Texas and overthrows it with his agenda whilst pretending to be on the side of the protestors. I'm sure another member can elaborate with the details. It says a lot about him unfortunately or fortunately. Sour grapes.. it's not.

Alex Jones talks so much crap, that even when he says something that is true, we just ignore what he says. While he MIGHT be saying the truth, there are plenty of other people to get your information from. Alex Jokes, is one of the worst conspiracy theorist.
And then.... it says....
Conclusions
Children’s intelligence and growth can be affected by high concentrations of As or fluoride
So.... it says there is IQ reduction with the HIGH CONCENTRATION group, meaning 8.3 parts...

In this video.... Alex Jones says your IQ is reduced 10 to 20 points.... if you drink tap water in the United States..... He says the fluoride in the water causes your IQ to go down 10 to 20 points....

And also. It was Bill Cooper that suggested that you do your own research and not take his word for it. AJ stole that (as well as the 9/ll prediction) as have many sinse his murder. AJ has even tried to duplicate BC in trying to copy his timing in unusually awkward timings and pauses. The guy is not even a clever fraud. He will always be a wery well paid fraud. He will never be a Bill Cooper however no matter how much he tries. Some very very dangerous people just never seem to die do they?

You know what completely defeats this claim? The fact that IQ has been increasing. Studies show that average IQ increases about 3 points every decade. It's for this reason that the Stanford-Binet (the standard IQ test) needs to be recalibrated every once in a while so that the average IQ is measured at 100. One would think that if Jones' claim was actually true we should expect to see drastic decreases in IQ as the prevalence of fluoridation has increased.

He means, RADIATION. But won't say it I guess. Lauren Moret talks about the tests done decades ago, with the manhatten project era, where they noted that the SAT scores of US children dropped 12% from the 40's when they started atmospheric tests of plutonium nukes, to the 60's when it stopped.
The other chemicals may add to this.
