  • Fluoridation: an update on evidence. Report from New Zealand, June 2, 2021.

    • Original online at https://www.pmcsa.ac.nz/topics/fluoridation-an-update-on-evidence/ Fluoridation: an update on evidence Our office has examined new evidence on water fluoridation published since the Royal Society Te Aparangi report in 2014. Here’s what we found. Fluoride naturally occurs in water and can help strengthen teeth and prevent dental caries (also known as dental cavities). In Aotearoa New […]

  • The controversial contribution to dental research made by Albert Schatz-Co-discoverer of streptomycin

    Abstract In addition to being co-discoverer of the antibiotic streptomycin the American microbiologist and soil scientist, Albert Schatz did ground breaking dental research. His major contribution is the Proteolysis–Chelation theory, but he also did research on fluoridation where he emphasised the overlooked involvement of so-called paradoxical effects. His research led him to become an active […]

  • Water fluoridation and the quality of information available online

    Background: The Internet has transformed the way in which people approach their health care, with online resources becoming a primary source of health information. Little work has assessed the quality of online information regarding community water fluoridation. This study sought to assess the information available to individuals searching online for information, with emphasis on the […]

  • NTP: Government-funded Fluoride Studies

    It’s important to stress that from 1950, when the U.S. government approved the deliberate addition of fluoride into the drinking water of millions of Americans, no government agency has ever performed an assessment of the risks of this practice for the most vulnerable in our society, the pregnant woman living in a fluoridated community the […]

  • NTP 1990 Cancer Study: Liver Cancer Controversy

    The United States Congress mandated the National Toxicology Program (NTP) to conduct animal studies to determine if fluoride causes cancer. After a few aborted attempts in the early 1980s, the NTP successfully began a 2-year study on rats and mice in 1985. Battelle Columbus Laboratories was retained by NTP to perform the study. On October […]

  • Effects of brewing conditions on infusible fluoride levels in tea and herbal products and probabilistic health risk assessment.

    Abstract Excessive ingestion of fluorides might adversely affect the health of humans. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the concentrations of infusible fluoride in five different types of tea and herbal products; additionally, the probabilistic health risks associated with the ingestion of fluoride in drinking tea and herbal products were estimated. The highest and lowest […]

  • Environmental Fluoride 1977 by Rose & Marier

    The Associate Committee on Scientific Criteria for Environmental Quality was established by the National Research Council of Canada in response to a mandate provided by the Federal Government to develop scientific guidelines for defining the quality of the environment. The concern of the NRC Associate Committee is strictly with scientific criteria. Pollution standards and objectives […]
