  • Caries Preventative Already Has One Rap Against It

    The unexpected positive results from the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) rodent study of fluoride carcinogenicity will make it difficult for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) not to classify fluoride a carcinogen, thereby terminating 40 years of public-water fluoridation in the United States. Validated pathology results officially released by the NTP showed that, among male rats, […]

  • NTP 2015-2017: Genesis of involvement in fluoride’s neurotoxicity

    In 2015, the NTP solicited a request for information in the Federal Register on October 7 on fluoride’s Carcinogenicity, Developmental Neurotoxicity and Endocrine Disruption.  The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) submitted comments (see below) and the NTP made the decision to investigate fluoride’s neurotoxicity. On December 2, 2015, an Evaluation of Fluoride Exposure and Potential for […]

  • USA: More About Fluoride

    Early this year Newsweek magazine published a story with this advice for readers: “Brush your teeth, but the fluoride from your tap may not do much good – and may cause cancer”. The supporting cancer hazard evidence was an animal study sponsored by the government’s National Toxicology Program (Lancet, Feb 3, p282). Since then, the […]

  • Don’t Drink the Water? Brush your teeth, but the fluoride from your tap may not do much good — and may cause cancer
