Fluoride exposure and indicators of thyroid functioning in the Canadian population: implications for community water fluoridation
Community water fluoridation predicts increase in age-adjusted incidence and prevalence of diabetes in 22 states from 2005 and 2010
Community Water Fluoridation & Caries Prevention in Adults
Mechanism of Anti-Caries Action of Fluoride
It is normal for a wide range of bacteria to be present in the mouth and many are involved with forming biofilm (plaque) on the surfaces of teeth. However, some bacteria can establish levels that can lead to problems.
Osteosarcoma & Fluoridation: Is There a Connection?
Adding Fluoride to Water Supplies
The article written by Cheng, Chalmers and Sheldon outlines issues for discussion that are useful when communities are considering policy related to water fluoridation in the United Kingdom. However, it is not useful for discussion of water fluoridation in the United States as it does not consider the substantial body of research conducted on water fluoridation in the United States. The authors’ review of the study cited to show potential harm appears erroneous and incomplete.
Physiologic conditions affect toxicity of ingested industrial fluoride
The paper by Richard Sauerheber, titled Physiologic Conditions Affect Toxicity of Ingested Industrial Fluoride (Journal of Environmental and Public Health, Vol 2013, Article ID 439490) contains several errors and misconceptions that will be discussed below. More importantly the author implies that there is the possibility of acute fluoride toxicity from drinking fluoridated water that contains little or no calcium.
