  • Bone Fluoride Levels Not Associated With Osteosarcoma

    Note from the Fluoride Action Network: The following is on a study by dentist Chester Douglass and colleagues, An Assessment of Bone Fluoride and Osteosarcoma, (7/28/11) which claims to show no association between fluoride bone levels and osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. However, Douglass’ study has serious scientific flaws and is incapable of disproving […]

  • Assessment of potential health risk of major contaminants of groundwater in a densely populated agricultural area

    Note from Fluoride Action Network: “Since all methods [to remove fluoride] produce a sludge with very high concentration of fluoride that has to be disposed of, only water for drinking and cooking purposes should be treated, particularly in the developing countries.” Reference: Fluorosis (see Interventions), World Health Organization Abstract As a key part of Bohai […]

  • Estimation of hazardous materials in water and their toxicity levels in Mahayel Aseer, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

    Abstract This work aims to evaluate the different water sources available in Mahayel Aseer, KSA, chemically, toxicology and microbiologically. Several water samples, such as tap water, differentially desalinated water and bottled water, were analysed. Moreover, different metal ions and anions, including sodium, potassium, calcium, lead, cadmium, manganese, bicarbonate, fluoride, chloride, sulphate, nitrate and nitrite, were […]

  • Lake Delton eliminates fluoride from drinking water prompting criticism from local dentists

    Note from Fluoride Action Network, The unfortunate statements on fluoride from a dentist quoted in the article below, “It does not cause brain cancer. It does not cause bone cancer,” Clemens said. “It doesn’t cause lower I.Q.” are not correct. There are over 60 published studies that report an association of fluoride exposure with lowered […]

  • The Timeline

    Douglass’ research on fluoride and osteosarcoma comprises two separate studies. The first study — a “retrospective study” — was initiated in 1992 and completed by 1995, while the second study — a “prospective study” — began soon thereafter. Douglass’ graduate student, Elise Bassin, conducted her analysis on Douglass’ first study. The following discussion focuses on […]

  • A Critique of Gelberg’s Study on Fluoride/Osteosarcoma in New York

    The case-control study by Gelberg, published first as a PhD dissertation and then later in two peer-reviewed journals, may represent the most substantive study on fluoride/osteosarcoma previous to Bassin’s 2001 analysis. In assessing Gelberg’s data, we were at first struck by the existence of several notable errors in both the thesis and papers. While these errors do raise questions about the study, our primary concern with Gelberg’s work relates to the methods she used to analyze her data.
