No credible evidence links fluoride to cancer. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/flawed-comparison-cancer-mortality-fluoridated-non-fluoridated-us-cities-doesnt-provide-sufficient-evidence-fluoride-causes-cancer/ https://ilikemyteeth.org/debate-fluoridation/does-fluoride-cause-cancer/ https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2017/12/fluoride-cause-cancer/ https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/chemicals/water-fluoridation-and-cancer-risk.html https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/myths/fluoridated-water-fact-sheet
