Since 1945, artificial fluoridation of water supplies has been used with success to reduce the incidence of dental caries in many areas where the natural fluoride content of the water is low. However, since 1975, it has been maintained that such artificial fluoridation is followed by an increased risk of cancer. These allegations originate from a single source. The present review, which covers re-examinations of the same data as well as evidence from scientific and governmental bodies in many countries, shows these assertions to be erroneous.
自1945年以来,在许多水源中天然氟含量较低的地区,人工添加氟化物已成功用于降低龋齿发病率。然而,自1975年以来,一直有人认为这种人工添加氟化物之后会增加患癌风险。这些说法都源于一个单一的来源。本综述涵盖了对相同数据的重新审视以及许多国家科学和政府机构提供的证据,结果表明这些断言是错误的。
