An official from one of the countries shown on the graph made the following claim: " Since flouride was introduced to the water supply, there has been a significant decrease in tooth decay in our country. This is strong evidence for the benefits of adding flouride to our water."

yes

no

A report stated:

"There is a lack of good quality evidence for both effectiveness and harm of water flouridation".

Which of these is likely to be a reason for the lack of good quality evidence?
