Dose dependence of prenatal fluoride exposure associations with cognitive performance at school age in three prospective studies.
Fluoride exposure from the Odense Child Cohort (OCC) While the addition of fluoride to drinking water is not legal in Denmark, elevated fluoride concentrations up to 1.5 mg/l naturally occur in groundwater in parts of the country,13 and some types of tea, especially black tea, constitute an additional source of exposure.14 In Odense municipality, the […]

The oral microbiome: Role of key organisms and complex networks in oral health and disease.
7.2. Toothpaste The effects of toothpaste on the oral microbiota have been investigated more thoroughly than the effects of toothbrushes. In the same study as previously described,33 the researchers also compared the oral and toothbrush microbiotas of participants who used either traditional Chinese medicine toothpaste or antibacterial toothpaste. While both types of toothpaste effectively reduced […]

Probabilistic modelling of developmental neurotoxicity based on a simplified adverse outcome pathway network.
1. Introduction Neurodevelopmental disorders such as impairment of learning and memory, and cognitive dysfunction, are of serious concern due to the health risks and consequences on the developing brain resulting from exposure to exogenous chemicals [1], [2], [3]. The assessment of developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) is not a mandatory requirement in the European Union or the […]

Sulfoxaflor and flupyradifurone more toxic to bees than expected
New scientific information shows that Sulfoxaflor and Flupyradifurone, two new generation neonicotinoid insecticides approved in the EU in 2015, are more toxic to bees than initially thought. The Standing Committee on phytopharmaceuticals meeting of 3-4 December will discuss the future of these substances. While the Commission proposes taking action, some Member States are pushing to […]

WITHDRAWN: Community-based population-level interventions for promoting child oral health.
Discussion Summary of main results This review includes 38 studies of community-based population-level interventions for promoting child oral health, with a total of 119,789 children. Interventions were generally implemented for less than one year (n = 26), and about half (n = 11) of studies were randomised controlled trials. Investigators tested a variety of oral […]
