Comparison of hydrofluorosilicic acid and pharmaceutical sodium fluoride as fluoridating agents—A cost–benefit analysis

May 2013 | Environmental Science & Policy | Hirzy JW, Carton RJ, Bonanni CD, Montanero CM, Nagle MF. | 38:282-284.
Note from FAN: The authors of this study have issued a "corrigendum" to correct several errors in the above analysis. The corrigendum was published in the April 2014 issue of Environmental Science & Policy (volume 38, pages 282-284). The text of the corrigendum is as follows: In this paper, the first author erroneously used life time exposure data to calculate number of cancer cases while using annual data on cost of fluoridation chemicals to calculate net social costs.

Human exposure assessment of fluoride from tea (Camellia sinensis L.): A UK based issue?

May 2013 | Food Research International | Chan L, Mehra A, Sakat S, Lynch P. | 51(2):564-570
Highlights • Fluoride concentrations were determined in UK tea infusions and products. • UK economy tea contained elevated fluoride, comparable to Chinese brick tea. • Fluoride concentration significantly varies depending upon the type of tea. • We report a risk of high exposure to fluoride if consuming 1L/day of Economy tea. • Tea consumption alone can exceed the dietary reference intake of fluoride.
