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 […]

I served 3.5 years on the US National Academies of Sciences Subcommittee on Fluoride in Drinking Water (also called the NRC Committee). The NAS is sometimes referred to as […]

  • Politics, Power and Misinformation Bullied City to Resume Fluoridation
