Role des inhibiteurs enzymatiques dans l'etiologie du mongolisme

1) The low incidence of dental caries observed in mongoloid patients led to an investigation of the role of fluorine in this condition. 2) A statistical study of the geographical distribution of mongolism in Wisconsin, Illinois, Idaho, North and South Dakota (U.S.A.) shows a parallelism between the prevalence of this condition

Association of Down's syndrome and water fluoride level: a systematic review of the evidence

Background: A review of the safety and efficacy of drinking water fluoridation was commissioned by the UK Department of Health to investigate whether the evidence supported a beneficial effect of water fluoridation and whether there was any evidence of adverse effects. Down's syndrome was one of the adverse effects reported. The

Water fluoridation and congenital malformations: no association

Data based on a total number of 1,387,027 births were used to compare the incidence of selected congenital malformations in fluoridated areas and that in areas where the water supply is deficient in fluoride. The incidence of selected congenital malformations in areas with fluoride supplementation of public water supplies was compared

Oligophrenie mongolienee et caries dentaires

Une enquête épidémiologique sur la fréquence du mongolisme dans quelques Etats du Midwest américain nous a permis de mettre en évidence les faits suivants: 1: un parallélisme entre la fréquence du mongolisme et la teneur en fluor de l'eau de boisson; 2: une rareté relative des caries dentaires chez les mongoliens; 3: une

Fluoride's Effect on Fetal Brain

The human placenta does not prevent the passage of fluoride from a pregnant mother's bloodstream to the fetus. As a result, a fetus can be harmed by fluoride ingested pregnancy. Based on research from China, the fetal brain is one of the organs susceptible to fluoride poisoning. As highlighted by the excerpts
