Bassin’s thesis did observe a connection between fluoride in tap water and bone cancer. “Among males, exposure to fluoride at or above the target level was associated with an increased risk of developing osteosarcoma,” Bassin wrote. Bassin and Douglass started with the same raw data, but ca...
The organization also argues that excessive amounts of fluoride in drinking water may be carcinogenic. Dyer cited a 1975 study by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, science director of the National Health Federation (NHF), another anti-fluoridation group, based in California. That study indicated that during...
A mixture of 6 (2.46 mg, 4.27 mmol) and acetic acid (0.98 mL, 17.1 mmol) was stirred in 20 mL of dry THF under nitrogen at 0° C. for 1 min. To this solution was added dropwise tetra-butyl ammonium fluoride 1.0 M solution in THF (12.8 mL, 12.97 mmol) at 0° C. The resultin...
The bacterial pellets were thawed on ice and resuspended in a solution containing 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 8.0), 250 mM KCl, 0.1% Tween-20, 10 mM imidazole, 0.5 mM magnesium adenosine triphosphate (Mg-ATP), 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and 2 mM benzimidine-HCl. To ...
