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

Fluoride-linked down syndrome births and their estimated occurrence due to water fluoridation
Down syndrome (DS) birth rates (BR) as a function of maternal age exhibit a relatively flat linear regression line for younger mothers and a fairly steep one for older mothers with the second line intersecting the first line a little above maternal age 30. Consequently, overall DS-BR for all maternal

Fluoridation and the occurrence of Down's syndrome
The prevalence rates of Down's syndrome at birth were compared for Massachusetts residents ingesting fluoridated and non-fluoridated water. The observations included nearly all children born alive with Down's syndrome in Massachusetts during the 17-year period 1950-1966. A rate of 1.5 cases per 1000 births was found for fluoride-related births and
