I knew it.
The danger has long been known, but in every case it was always.....the government knows best......and the poison was put in the water.
Do you have a working link and source for this? Thanks.
The link to cancer may well be the case. However, it is totally irresponsible to report this type of research without giving the reader the opportunity to see what the baseline incidence of the "disease" is. For example, with a large enough epidemiological sample increasing the chances of the disease from 1 in 1 million to 2 in 1 million will be "significant" - but it tells us nothing about the net health benefits and risks.

I read a report on groundwater quality in my state a while back. One of the things I thought was interesting is that about 2/3 of the state had groundwater that naturally had as much or more Floride in it as is added elsewhere. About 1/3 of the state did not, so the major cities there added enough to get to the recommended amount.
Surprised that ANY of the state is still alive.
You know, when I scanned the title I thought it said "Florida linked to bone cancer."
A Soviet-style self-congratulatory statement like that one in the first paragraph is a good tip-off that what follows is self-serving garbage. BTW, this "article" is a PRNewswire pay-for-publication press release.
