Fluoride exposure and hypothyroidism in a Canadian pregnancy cohort.
1. Introduction Fluoride is added to some public water supplies and dental products to prevent dental caries (Community Water Fluoridation, 2019). Drinking water is the largest source of fluoride for children and adults living in fluoridated communities, accounting for 40 %–70 % of daily intake (United States Environmental Protection Agency, n.d.). Black tea is another dietary […]

Lithium in Drinking Water as a Public Policy for Suicide Prevention: Relevance and Considerations.
Although suicide is considered a major preventable cause of mortality worldwide, we do not have effective strategies to prevent it. Lithium has been consistently associated with lowering risk of suicide. This effect could occur at very low concentrations, such as trace doses of lithium in tap water. Several ecological studies and recent meta-analysis have suggested […]

Fluoride Exposure and Age of Menarche: Potential Differences Among Adolescent Girls and Women in the United States.
Abstract Fluoride exposure is associated with later pubertal development and decreased testosterone production in adolescent and adult males. However, its effects on female reproductive health and pubertal development are unclear. Therefore, we examined associations of fluoride exposure with reproductive health outcomes among adolescent girls and women in the United States. Participants were from The National […]

Chronic fluorosis: the disease and its anaesthetic implications..
Abstract Chronic fluorosis is a widespread disease-related to the ingestion of high levels of fluoride through water and food. Prolonged ingestion of fluoride adversely affects the teeth, bones and other organs and alters their anatomy and physiology. Fluoride excess is a risk factor in cardiovascular disease and other major diseases, including hypothyroidism, diabetes and obesity. […]

Fluoride exposure and duration and quality of sleep in a Canadian population-based sample.
Excerpts Introduction Inorganic fluoride can naturally occur in the environment or be introduced through industrial processes or fluoride supplementation programs. A primary method of fluoride supplementation is community water fluoridation, which refers to the practice of adding fluoridation chemicals to drinking water for the purpose of controlling dental caries. Ingestion of fluoridated drinking water is […]

Community water fluoridation predicts increase in age-adjusted incidence and prevalence of diabetes in 22 states from 2005 and 2010
Abstract Community water fluoridation is considered a significant public health achievement of the 20th century. In this paper, the hypothesis that added water fluoridation has contributed to diabetes incidence and prevalence in the United States was investigated. Panel data from publicly available sources were used with population-averaged models to test the associations of added and […]
