Committee on Toxicology, including the National Research Council’s
Committee on Fluoride in Drinking Water. <br>

<p style="margin-left: 1.25cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;">NRC Review 2006
states: "Fluoride appears to have the potential to initiate or
promote cancers," even though the overall evidence is "mixed." &
"Health Canada should be aware that three U.S. courts have found
fluoridated water to be carcinogenic to humans (described in detail
by Graham and Morin 1999)."</p>
