Can drinking fluoridated water be harmful?
Fears have been raised in written materials and on the Internet that
drinking fluoridated water, a potent cavity-preventor, may cause a wide
range of disease states ranging from Alzheimer's to cancer. However, the
evidence for these claims is generally of very poor quality. The only
clearly established risk known is fluorosis, a generally harmless, but
permanent, staining of the teeth. Many studies have shown no increased
health risk associated with the drinking of fluoridated water. Some
studies have "suggested" a protective effect, while a few other studies
have suggested that fluoridated water may increase the chance of
developing certain conditions. Overall, reviews of the scientific
literature have found no consistent evidence linking the drinking of
fluoridated water with the likelihood of any disorder.
