Original Note:
The claim that fluoride causes more human cancer deaths is false. The research conducted in the 1970s, which formed the basis of Burk's claims, has been criticized for its methodological flaws. 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
