1. The NTP report is but one more systematic review that adds to the body of literature on water fluoridation. The mountain of research and papers on water fluoridation overwhelmingly support it as effective in reducing cavities and safe for everyone.
A U.S. agency has walked back its original statements about fluoride. Given that its original report failed peer review, this isn't a surprise. Here is an excellent summary of the report issued last week: tinyurl.com/4hnux2e5

4. Known and calibrated examiners will provide appropriate IQ tests and go through frequent recalibration. The study will be lengthy, but it won’t rely on flawed methods for fluoride measurement of fluoride intakes based on a single spot urine sample from biobanks that were never

If you don’t like what a group that you asked to peer review your draft, then go find someone who will. That’s not how credible science and unbiased literature reviewers behave. The NTP committee didn’t display scientific rigor in their evaluation and classification of the lit

See Open Letter in Support of Public Health – signed by over 125 interdisciplinary experts from across Alberta – in response to the UCP "Injection of Truth" anti-vaccine event. The letter, which was organized by the Edmonton Zone Medical Staff Association (@EZMSA2), notes: "Childhood vaccination has provided the single greatest contribution to improved infant survival over the past 50 years. Giving credence to conspiracy and misinformation, and ignoring scientific evidence, actively jeopardizes the health of our children while vaccine-preventable diseases are on the rise." "Setting public health policy by recruiting discredited and unlicensed doctors and spokespersons who cater to an anti-science agenda is dangerous."
