Abstract: Many attempts to demonstrate the dietary essentiality of fluoride have yielded equivocal results and none of the studies have connected fluoride to a specific metabolic deficiency (refs. 1-5 and personal communication from K. Schwartz). Undoubtedly, these...
Abstract: Female mice maintained on a low fluoride diet over two generations showed a progressive decline in litter production. Mice receiving the same diet supplemented with fluoride reproduced normally and at consistent intervals. Addition of fluoride to the intake...
Background There are concerns that altered thyroid functioning could be the result of ingesting too much fluoride. Community water fluoridation (CWF) is an important source of fluoride exposure. Our objectives were to examine the association between fluoride exposure...
Fluoridation of the drinking water is a public policy whose aim is to improve dental health. Although the evidence is clear that fluoride is good for dental health, concerns have been raised regarding potential negative effects on cognitive develop- ment. We study the...
Overall, this investigation found no evidence of a detectable adverse outcome on offspring neurobehavioral development associated with maternal fluoride exposure during pregnancy. Fluoride measured in pregnancy urine and plasma was not significantly associated with...
This study aimed to confirm the association between the community water fluoridation (CWF) programme and dental caries prevention on permanent teeth, comparing to a control area, neighbouring population without the programme, and verifying whether the programme can...
