Original Note:
The claim that fluoride causes cancer is false. There is no reliable evidence showing that water fluoridation increases cancer risk. Burk’s claim is based on flawed research. Community water fluoridation, at recommended levels, is considered safe and beneficial. 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.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3889024/ https://www.cancercenter.com/risk-factors/fluoride
