Evaluation of a national complex oral health improvement programme: a population data linkage cohort study in Scotland.

EXCERPTS Strengths and limitations of the study This is the first population-wide data linkage cohort study to evaluate the reach and impact of a complex public health intervention. There is evidence of effectiveness of oral health improvement interventions for children including fluoride toothpaste and professionally applied fluoride varnish; however, the evidence of combining these into a complex oral health improvement programme delivered via a proportio

Plasma and water fluoride levels and hyperuricemia among adolescents: A cross-sectional study of a nationally representative sample of the United States for 2013–2016.

Highlights Relatively low levels of fluoride exposure in US adolescents but with wide ranges. Dose-dependent increase in prevalence of hyperuricemia with increasing fluoride levels. Significant associations between plasma and water fluoride and hyperuricemia. A positive relationship between water and plasma fluoride concentrations. Potential role of chronic fluoride exposure in increased prevalence of hyperuricemia. Abstract Exposure to excessive fluo

A Benchmark Dose Analysis for Maternal Pregnancy Urine-Fluoride and IQ in Children.

This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice. Abstract As a safe exposure level for fluoride in pregnancy has not been established, we used data from two prospective studies for benchmark dose modeling. We included mother-child pairs from the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) cohort in M

Evaluation of Fluoride and Selected Chemical Parameters in Kombucha Derived from White, Green, Black and Red Tea.

Kombucha dates back thousands of years and is reported to have originated in East Asia. It is produced by fermenting tea with added sugar using SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). Its health benefits can be attributed to the metabolites produced during the fermentation process. Valuable ingredients of this fermented tea beverage include acetic acid, glucuronic acid, vitamins, enzymes, sugars and polyphenols. Tea, and consequently kombucha, contains numerous minerals, and one of them
