  • Opinion: Tackling Tooth Decay On The Cheap

    Note from the Fluoride Action Network, Kudos to the editors of the Civil Beat for publishing this notably accurate article, especially after their recent editorial in praise of fluoridation. (EC) The received wisdom on fluoridation is highly distorted. Water fluoridation is catnip to American progressives, a category in which I include myself. In a country […]

  • Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards.

    Excerpts: Summary Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to establish exposure standards for contaminants in public drinking-water systems that might cause any adverse effects on human health. These standards include the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG), the maximum contaminant level (MCL), and the secondary maximum contaminant level […]

  • Fluoride on Trial. Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola.

    Link to interview with RFK Jr.and Michael Connett at top of article. • Read full article on Dr Mercola’s site Story at a Glance After a four-year process, a landmark fluoridation trial was held in federal court in June 2020. Fluoridation’s neurotoxic risk to vulnerable subpopulations was confirmed, along with the U.S. EPA’s failure to […]

  • Weekend Diversion: Fluoridated Water: Science, Scams and Society

    “Fluoridation is the single most important commitment a community can make to the oral health of its children and to future generations.” -C. Everett Koop Most weekends, I take on a lighter topic, as a way of taking a break from the deep physics, astronomy, and science we share during the week. But every once […]

  • NRC 2006: Neurotoxicity & Neurobehavioral Effects

    The following is from Chapter 7 on fluoride’s neurotoxicity in the 2006 National Research Council’s (NRC) report on fluoride’s toxicology. This surprisingly thorough report presents the understanding of fluoride’s neurotoxicity at the time. The report identified 4 fluoride IQ studies. Of interest is that all 4 studies were published in the journal Fluoride and that […]

  • Fluoride: Cavities & Hypothyroidism

    Fluoride is most effective when applied topically to the surface of the teeth. Therefore, it seems unnecessary for over 3/4 of U.S. tap water to contain the chemical for consumption. Fluoride was introduced in the 1940’s as a tap water additive because it helps kill cavity-causing bacteria on people’s teeth. However, none of our body’s […]
