Water fluoridation: a critical review of the physiological effects of ingested fluoride as a public health intervention. Peckham S, Awofeso N. Abstract Fluorine is the world's 13th most abundant element and constitutes 0.08% of the Earth crust. It has the highest electronegativity of all elements. Fluoride is [...]
Developmental Fluoride Neurotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Anna L. Choi, Guifan Sun, Ying Zhang, Philippe Grandjean Abstract Background: Although fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in animal models and acute fluoride poisoning causes neurotoxicity in adults, very little is known of its effects on children’s neurodevelopment. Objective: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published [...]
Paul Connet, of the Fluoride Action Network, writes a concise review of one important side of the case against community water fluoridation: It doesn't prevent tooth decay! View Article: Why We Doubt the Benefits of Swallowing Fluoride
On August 20, 2007, the Water Quality and Operations Committee of the Metropolitan Water District of Los Angeles held a public commentary meeting. They had decided back in 2003 to fluoridate the water for the 18 million people in their supply area, but had yet to implement that decision. One of the people who commented was Kathleen [...]
In IAOMT's ongoing examination of the toxicological data on fluoride, the Academy has made several preliminary determinations over the last 18 years, each concluding that fluoride added to the public water supply, or prescribed as controlled-dose supplements, delivers no discernible health benefit, and causes a higher incidence of adverse health effects. View Article: IAOMT Position [...]
FLUORIDE IN DRINKING WATER: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards published 2006 A 400 page report that reviews all the knowledge up to that time concerning the effects of fluoride in drinking water on organs, tissues and susceptible human populations. This report predates most of the publications that demonstrate negative effects of ingested fluoride on [...]
Swallow your veggies not fluoride By Carol Kopf New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc. (NYSCOF) Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth (1-3). However, the evidence is solid that lack of essential nutrients makes teeth more decay susceptible. Good dental health begins in the womb (4). Specifically, calcium, protein, phosphorus, [...]
