For a truly balanced perspective, I think it's important to read the responses that refute the BMJ journal article Dr. Mitchell cites. they are here: www.bmj.com/cgi/eletters/321/7265/855#10209
Besides that "meta-analysis" is way out of date. The most current review of fluoride/fluoridation research was published in 2006 by the U.S. National Research Council. Dr. Mitchell as an MD should have no problem plowing through this extensive research book www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11571 which took a panel of experts thre and a half years to produce after careful objective study of all fluoride/fluoridation research. They didn't just rely on abstracts or summaries. There's a lot of information in the body of scientific reports.
I would like Dr. Mitchell to review the NRC report in its entirety and then tell us fluoridation is safe for everyone and why. But pretty please, do not rely on the summary or abstract
As a result of the NRC report, the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control now advise that infant formula should not be mixed with fluoridated water. The Academy of General Dentistry warned Americans about that way before the ADA and the CDC and the AGD didn't beat around the bush.
As a result of the NRC report, the National Kikney Foundation withdrew it's support of water fluoridation because a malfunctioning kidney cannot properly filter fluoride from the body which will allow fluoride to build up in kidney patients' bodies to reach toxic levels. An added problem is that most kidney patients don't know they have kidney disease and no one's telling them to avoid fluoride.
After 60 years of water fluoridation, the NRC was the first to report in one place all the studies linking fluoride to endocrine dysfunction. This was never studied in the first human experiments and it's almost impossible to get funding in the US to study fluoride's adverse effectgs.
Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. Fluoride ingestion confers no benefits but does put people at risk.
Fluoridation just doesn't make any sense anymore to anyone who isn't politically married to the idea for one reason or another.
