Furthermore, the PLS-R modelling results suggest that increased fluoride and ammonium concentration could also act as a sporulation trigger, at least for S. parasitica. The range of fluoride concentrations in freshwater is between 0.01 and 0.3 mg/L [57], which is in accordance with the average fluoride concentration of 0.1 mg/L in our dataset. The induction of sporulation by environmentally relevant fluoride concentrations could be explained as a response to unfavorable environmental condition

6. Fluoride 6.1. Main functions Fluoride is the world's 13th most abundant element [151], being widely distributed in the environment, occurring in soils, rocks, and water: it is therefore naturally present in the food and drink we but its status as “essential” is debated. It is well absorbed by the small intestine. and gets attached to bone and teeth, transforming apatite into fluoroapatite. Nearly 99% of the body's fluoride is bound strongly to calcified tissues. Fluoride in bone appe

Skeletal Fluorosis: A Case of Inhalant Abuse Leading to a Diagnosis of Colon Cancer.

March 28, 2022 | Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports | Mohideen H, Dahiya DS, Parsons D, Hussain H, Ahmed RS. | 10:1–6.
Abstract Skeletal fluorosis is a long-term bone disease that develops when prolonged fluoride toxicity leads to osteosclerosis and bone deformities that result in crippling pain and debility. The disease is endemic to many countries due to environmental or industrial exposures. However, rare cases in the United States have been reported from various causes including heavy toothpaste ingestion, excessive tea consumption, voriconazole us
