In this series, we explore the contentious findings surrounding fluoridation of the U.S. public water supply and answer the question of whether water fluoridation poses a risk and what we should do about it. Previously: The National Toxicology Program’s six-year systematic review on the neurotoxic effects of fluoride has been heavily delayed and mired in government…

In this series, we explore the contentious findings surrounding fluoridation of the U.S. public water supply, and answer the question of whether water fluoridation poses a risk and what we should do about it.

Previously: A confounding factor in the fluoride debate is the arsenic that contaminates the industrial sources of fluoride added to public water…

A key panel of experts in the Department of Health and Human Services’ National Toxicology Program has voted to strike out an error in a pivotal and controversial report on the effects of water fluoridation on human intelligence. The National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) voted unanimously in a meeting on May 16th to…

In this series, we explore the contentious findings surrounding fluoridation of the U.S. public water supply and answer the question of whether water fluoridation poses a risk and what we should do about it. Previously: Fluoride exposure comes from multiple sources, making individual exposure uncertain and dosage but another confounding factor. The fluoride added to the…

The debate around whether fluoride should be added to tap water has been ongoing for almost 80 years. Government agencies argue that fluoride helps prevent tooth decay, while opponents are concerned about potential health risks. Recently, there has been some progress in the EPA fluoride lawsuit, which has raised questions about the safety of adding fluoride to…

In this series, we explore the contentious findings surrounding fluoridation of the U.S. public water supply and answer the question of whether water fluoridation poses a risk and what we should do about it. Previously: Recent multi-year NIH-funded studies found fluoride exposure was linked to reduced IQ and ADHD in children, bringing up more concern…
