The study, published online yesterday in a Harvard-affiliated journal, could intensify debate over fluoridation and mean more scrutiny for Harvardâs Dr. Chester Douglass, accused of fudging the findings to downplay a cancer link. âItâs the best piece of work ever linking fluoride in tap water and bone cancer. Itâs pretty damning for (Douglass),â said Richard Wiles of the Environmental Working Group, which filed a complaint with the National Institutes of Health against Douglass. Douglass, an epidemiology professor at Harvardâs School of Dental Medicine, is paid as editor of the Colgate Oral Care Report, a newsletter supported by the toothpaste maker. -- What harvard affiliated journal is this? Kind of suspicious when the name of the journal and/or the precise citation is not mentioned. -- bzzzt. RTFA: That student, Dr. Elise Bassin, wrote in yesterdays __Cancer Causes and Control__ that boys who drink water with levels of fluoride considered safe by federal guidlines are five times more likely to develop osteosarcoma than boys who drink unfluoridated water. Which I assume is this: <<http://www.ovid.com/site/catalog/Journal/1462.jsp>> ---- You're the doctor, and yet I read and write better than you do.
