This is a metastudy based on Chinese studies regarding their high natural levels of fluoride - much higher than is used for artificially fluoridated water. Like most things the dose makes the poison, and you cannot assume that just because excessive consumption of salt is bad for your health that the healthiest amount is zero.
Another problem is that naturally occurring fluoride tends to be in remote mountain areas where everyone is going to be dumber from poverty and cultural isolation.
There are many counties in the US that do not have fluoride and they're right next to counties that do, so you could easily study those locations. But that won't get the answer you want.
Because of some combination of fluoride naturally leeching into groundwater from the surrounding rock and pollution from industrial processes. I believe it's more the former than the latter, but don't know for sure.
Technically there's nothing to prove excessive salt consumption is bad for you, but there's lots of studies that correlate it because the stuff that's bad has a ton of salt in it to disguise it's true nature.
The bottom line is that fluorosis is correlated with the lower IQs.
Excessive salt consumption is bad for you. Even if you want to argue about whether the overdevelopment of heart muscle would still cause cardiac arrest without the plaque buildup, drawing fluids out of the tissue into the blood via osmotic pressure both disrupts the proper operation of said tissue and can result in intracranial bleeding due to high blood pressure.

Which is kinda the opposite of the problem we have over in the States.
Why are Chinese high in flouride?

No idea. I would've thought chromium, iodine, and sodium would make more sense.
That's funny
