– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -The Environmental Protection Agency’s own work on rats fails to demonstrate the safety of fluoride.  Both the National Toxicology Program (January 22, 1990 Fact Sheet) and the National Cancer Institute found a fluoride-related increase in osteosarcoma (a bone cancer) in young males ("Review of Fluoride Benefits and Risks," U.S. Public Health Service, February, 1991.) EPA senior research scientist Dr. Marcus cites numerous studies, up to and including 1991 JAMA articles  "demonstrating adverse effects to bone caused by fluoride at levels to which the majority of the U.S. population on public water supplies are exposed."  (Environment Week, Washington,  D.C., Thursday, August 15, 1991. (from http://doctoryourself.com/fluoridation.html ) Happy Dog asked for some evidence that fluoridation is harmful.  This post is the second in a series.  A long, long series.

Are they all going to be as unreliable as this one?  More recent papers have not found a connection between fluoridation and cancer, and have found flaws in the studies that did: TITLE:      Cancer and fluoridation.
