Longitudinal associations between early-life fluoride exposures and cardiometabolic outcomes in school-aged children.
4. Discussion … Fluoridation of drinking water has been implemented in multiple countries to promote dental health. These findings can help inform whether fluoridation practices are an optimal cost-effective measure to improve health. Even though fluoride can be excreted from the body within hours, a potential long-lasting endocrine-disrupting role of the chemical should be considered […]

Fluoride: An Unknown Cause Of Disease In Dogs
If your dog drinks tap water, you need to know the answer to this question … Can Dogs Have Fluoride? The answer is no … dogs shouldn’t have fluoride. Fluoride affects brain development, bone strength and may disrupt hormones. And that means, in most places, your dog shouldn’t drink tap water … or eat processed […]

Urinary fluoride levels and metal co-exposures among pregnant women in Los Angeles, California.
Discussion This study characterized urinary fluoride levels during the first and third trimesters of pregnancy among a cohort of predominately Hispanic pregnant women residing in urban LA. MUFsg levels observed in MADRES (trimester 1 mean = 0.81 mg/L; trimester 3 mean = 0.92 mg/L) were higher than those reported in one other US study, but […]

Why millennials may have worse teeth than their parents
Generational differences, or at least debates about them, crop up everywhere, and dentistry is no exception. It might seem like millennials should have better teeth than previous generations due to all the health information at their fingertips, but the reality may be the opposite—and dental clinics everywhere should pay attention. What about advancements in dentistry? […]

A Systems Approach to Remediating Human Exposure to Arsenic and Fluoride From Overexploited Aquifers.
2.3.6.IQ Suppression as Function of As and F Concentrations in Drinking Water This study focusses on the neurotoxic effect of As and F in child cognitive development as an example of one health and economic impact from exposure. The thresholds at which negative health effects occur and the shape of the dose-response curve for a […]

Fluoride exposure and hypothyroidism in a Canadian pregnancy cohort.
1. Introduction Fluoride is added to some public water supplies and dental products to prevent dental caries (Community Water Fluoridation, 2019). Drinking water is the largest source of fluoride for children and adults living in fluoridated communities, accounting for 40 %–70 % of daily intake (United States Environmental Protection Agency, n.d.). Black tea is another dietary […]

Fluoride exposure, dopamine relative gene polymorphism and intelligence: A cross-sectional study in China.
Excerpts: Our study has several strengths. So far as we know, this is the first epidemiological study to uncover the effect modification of DAT1 and MAOA gene polymorphism in the relationship between fluoride exposure and IQ, and the first study to analyze the high-dimensional interaction among fluoride exposure and the four DA relative genes. Our […]
