The study, published online yesterday in a Harvard-affiliated journal, could intensify debate over fluoridation and mean more scrutiny for Harvards Dr. Chester Douglass, accused of fudging the findings to downplay a cancer link. Its the best piece of work ever linking fluoride in tap water and bone cancer. Its pretty damning for (Douglass), said Richard Wiles of the Environmental Working Group, which filed a complaint with the National Institutes of Health against Douglass.
