An explanation for why so few new studies have been added to our site.

Abstract

Most new fluoride studies have not been added to our site due to the shutdown of the U.S. Government.

Surprisingly, the search site PubMed, our prime site to find new studies on fluoride, has been shut down since October 1st. It began because the U.S. Congress failed to reach a funding agreement for the 2026 federal budget. Many federal government agencies and programs that rely on annual funding are paused if Congress fails to pass or if the president fails to sign the budget legislation.

Over the last five decades, there have been 21 federal shutdowns, many of which lasted only a day or two. One of the most recent shutdowns was also the longest, lasting 34 days between December 2018 and January 2019.

Fluoride, https://www.fluorideresearch.org/
This is the the quarterly journal of the International Society for Fluoride Research Inc. The U.S.-government owned PubMed site has never indexed the journal Fluoride because of politics. Why? Because this journal, since 1968, published study after study on the adverse effects of fluoride on the human body. This was not in alignment with U.S. public health policy that advocated the deliberate addition of fluoride to drinking water. This public health policy was, and remains, in the universe of anti-science propaganda. The journal was the first to publish the IQ studies from China. Of interest was the 2006 report, Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards. This report, by the U.S. National Research Council of the National Academy of Science, took three years to write and was the best report on the toxicology of fluoride published at that time. The majority of references were to the journal Fluoride, even though not one major search engine indexed it.
