Caries Preventative Already Has One Rap Against It

Don’t Drink the Water? Brush your teeth, but the fluoride from your tap may not do much good — and may cause cancer
Government researchers have new evidence that casts doubt on the benefits of fluoridation and suggests that it is not without risk. The most incendiary results come from the National Toxicology Program (NTP), which in 1977 was ordered by Congress to determine whether fluoride causes cancer. This week NTP plans to release data showing that lab rats given fluoridated water had a higher rate of a rare bone cancer called osteosarcoma.

Harvard/Bone Cancer Files
Overview In 2005, the National Institute of Health (NIH) began an investigation into scientific misconduct at Harvard Dental School regarding an ongoing NIH-funded study on fluoride and osteosarcoma. The NIH launched the investigation following a request from the Environmental Working Group, which based its request on documents unearthed by FAN researcher Michael Connett. The documents suggested that Dr. Chester Douglass, a Colgate-affiliated advocate of […]

Cancer
According to the National Toxicology Program (NTP), “the preponderance of evidence” from laboratory studies indicates that fluoride is a mutagen (a compound that can cause genetic damage). A chemical that can cause genetic damage is one that can likely cause, or contribute to, the development of cancer. While the concentrations of fluoride causing genetic damage in laboratory studies […]
