The incidence of osteosarcoma in Northern Ireland was compared with that in the Republic of Ireland to establish if differences in incidence between the two regions could be related to their different drinking water fluoridation policies. Data from the Northern...
Fluoride exposure does not increase the risk of osteosarcoma and may be protective in males. The protective effect may not be directly due to fluoride exposure but may be due to other factors associated with good dental hygiene. There is also a biologic plausability...
Proxy exposure measures and readily available data from the Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System were used to contrast 167 osteosarcoma cases with 989 frequency-matched cancer referents reported during 1979-1989. Differences in potential exposure to water-borne radiation...
Conclusion: In a case-control study of osteosarcoma patients and hospital-based matched controls, the ingestion of fluoridated water was not found to be a risk factor for osteosarcoma. Hence, no link was found between the occurrence of osteosarcoma and ingestion of...
We conclude that there is no substantiated evidence from studies of human populations that fluoride or fluoridation causes cancer, or increases mortality from cancer, whether for cancer as a whole or for cancer at individual sites. The notion that fluoridation and...
