On Wednesady, March 22, 2006 the NAS/NRC released its long-awaited report "Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards".
While it is being heralded by anti-fluoridationists and winning accolades from groups such as the EWG, numerous members from our group have already emailed our office, having found quite a few severe shortcomings of the report. We will address these at a later date, once the document has been read (500+ pages).
Here are just a few of the news stories surrounding the issue.
