Elucidating mechanism of drug induced toxicity

It will likely be easy to continue accepting fervently presented evidence alleged to show great harm to almost all aspects of human health from fluoridation opponents.It will probably be quite difficult to consider accepting evidence that demonstrates benefits of better dental health that appears to be associated with very small risks of harm from fluoridation supporters.

I selected this representation of articles, stories and reference papers to provide that over sixty five years of research has, in fact, produced hundreds of studies and reviews that conclude drinking water fluoridation at optimal levels of 0.7 to 1.0 part per million (ppm) is effective and safe.

I do not claim there is no negative evidence regarding fluoridation or that all negative evidence should be ignored.

As with the study of any complex subject, it is the consensus reached after all evidence is fairly evaluated that is important - not the conclusions drawn by accepting only selected evidence. In the first episode of Mad Men (Smoke gets in your eyes) Don Draper outlines the appeal of fear as a tool for selling with chilling clarity.

There is legitimate scientific disagreement about whether fluoridation is as significant a preventative measure for dental decay today as it was before the introduction of fluoride-containing toothpaste, fluoride dental treatments and other sources of the fluoride ion.

Fluoridation Resources: This section contains over fifty links to books, articles, endorsements and position statements that describe the history, benefits, risks and costs of fluoridation.
