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 […]

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? […]

Assessment of Fluoride Content in Water and Its Impact on the Intelligence Quotient of School Children Aged 12–13 Years.
Introduction All around the world, endemic fluorosis has grown to frightening proportions. India is located in a fluoride belt. In 18 of the 32 Indian states, it is a serious public health issue. It has been shown that 177 or so districts are affected by high fluoride content in water. According to a United Nations […]

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 […]
