SciTrust Score: Fluoride and Offspring IQ

Review and rate your confidence in one of the key studies driving the water fluoridation debate

The topic of water fluoridation is subject to ongoing debate in the area of public health.  One of the key studies that is driving this debate is: 

Green R, Lanphear B, Hornung R, et al. Association Between Maternal Fluoride Exposure During Pregnancy and IQ Scores in Offspring in Canada. JAMA Pediatr. 2019;173(10):940–948. doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2019.1729

How confident is the scientific community in relying upon this study to support decision making on water fluoridation?  Is this study a good study and worthy of supporting decision making on water fluoridation?  Please review and score this paper.  This is the first case of a series we will be running on scoring trust in scientific papers, so we'd love your involvement.
