Hull: Fluoride in tap water divides city
A plan to extend the fluoridation of tap water for the first time in 30 years to combat tooth decay has provoked a backlash from those who deem it “mass medication”. A battle is raging in Hull, where the scheme is being considered, as scientists and campaigners clash on the future of dental and public […]

Jonesborough: Fluoride debate brings out pros and cons
At Monday night’s Town of Jonesborough Public Forum, there were degreed professionals and concerned laymen. Some came from down the street. Others from across the state. But what the 100 or so men and women attending the July 18 meeting all seemed to share was a passion for their cause – and a very different […]

Transcriptional regulatory dynamics of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis in male mice exposed to fluoride.
Discussion The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of F oral exposure on T [testosterone] biosynthesis and the neuroendocrine regulation of the HPT axis in male mice. T is one of the endpoint parameters inHTP axis. In this study, reduced serum T concentration replicates our prior report of F-induced decrease in T […]

A new perspective on metals and other contaminants in fluoridation chemicals
Background: Fluoride additives contain metal contaminants that must be diluted to meet drinking water regulations. However, each raw additive batch supplied to water facilities does not come labeled with concentrations per contaminant. This omission distorts exposure profiles and the risks associated with accidents and routine use. Objectives: This study provides an independent determination of the […]

Fluorosis–a rare complication of diabetes insipidus.
The familial pituitary or central diabetes insipidus (DI) is a relatively rare condition with variable onset, from birth to several years of age and variable severity within a family and in individuals over time(l). Severe dehydration and growth retardation, though rare are known compilations of DI. However, dental fluorosis as a complication of DI has […]

Is fluoride-induced hyperthyroidism a cause of psychosis among East African immigrants to Scandinavia?
Background of the hypothesis Asylum seekers and immigrants in Scandinavia are admitted to mental hospitals for psychotic disorders up to ten times more frequently than native Scandinavians [1], [2] and [3]. The high frequency of psychosis among immigrants is usually explained as a result of traumatic experiences in their countries of origin, problems with adapting […]

Functional state of thyroid under extended exposure to fluorides
The issue of specific effect of fluorine on the thyroid in humans remains debatable. There is no doubt, however, that cases of experimental fluorosis are characterized by specific toxicity of fluorine to the thyroid. The hypoactivity of thyroid epithelium is observed, the destructive changes in the follicular cells increasing with the increased intoxication time (1, […]
