Christopher A. McPherson, Guozhu Zhang, Richard Gilliam, Sukhdev S. Brar, Ralph Wilson, Amy Brix, Catherine Picut, G. Jean Harry First Online: 05 February 2018 Abstract At elevated levels, fluoride (F−) exposure has been associated with adverse human health effects....
Abstract: Concerns exist regarding potential harms of community water fluoridation. The study objective was to examine the association between fluoride exposure and indicators of two health outcomes for which concerns have been expressed, cognitive and thyroid...
Overall we conclude that no credible evidence exists to show that water fluoridation has any quantifiable effects on the solubility, bioavailability, bioaccumulation or reactivity of lead (0) or lead (II) compounds. The governing factots are the concentrations of a...
Our analysis does not offer support for the hypothesis that silicofluorides in community water systems increase PbB concentrations in children. On the other hand, given the limitations of our data, our analyses cannot refute a possible link between water fluoridation...
1. Hexafluorosilicate added to fluoridate water is effectively 100% dissociated to form fluoride ion under water treatment conditions. Therefore in terms of chemistry and bioavailability there is absolutely no difference between added and “natural” fluoride. 2. The...
Abstract Context: A recently updated Community Guide systematic review of the effectiveness of community water fluoridation once again found evidence that it reduces dental caries. Although community water fluoridation was found to save money in a 2002 Community Guide...
On the basis of the available evidence, Kidney Health Australia has developed the following position statement regarding fluoridation of community water supplies: There is no evidence that consumption of optimally fluoridated drinking water increases the risk of...
Results. Children who brushed their teeth less often and were older, male, of low SES, from rural or remote areas consumed significantly more SSBs. Caries was significantly associated with greater SSB [sugar-sweetened beverages] consumption after controlling...
A cornerstone of modern biomedical research is the use of mouse models to explore basic pathophysiological mechanisms, evaluate new therapeutic approaches, and make go or no-go decisions to carry new drug candidates forward into clinical trials. Systematic studies...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to measure the fluoride content of several brands of commercially available infant formulas obtained from various geographic locations in the United States. Fluoride determinations were accomplished using a modification of the...
