Fluoride linked to Bone Cancer (especially in young boys)
FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK
As acknowledged by the U.S. National Toxicology Program there is a "biological plausibility" of a link between fluoride exposure and osteosarcoma. The biological plausibility centers around three facts: 1) Bone is the principal site of fluoride accumulation, particularly during the growth spurts of childhood; 2) Fluoride is a mutagen when present at sufficient concentrations, and 3) Fluoride can artificially stimulate the proliferation of bone cells (osteoblasts).
In addition to its biological plausibility, there is now a substantive body of evidence indicating that fluoride can in fact induce osteosarcomas in both animals and humans.
Most notably, a recent national case control study conducted by scientists at Harvard University found a significant relationship between fluoride exposure and osteosarcoma among boys, particularly if exposed to fluoridated water between the ages of 6 and 8 (the mid-childhood growth spurt).
The Harvard study's findings are consistent with the U.S. National Toxicology Program's congressionally-mandated fluoride/cancer study in rats; the National Cancer Institute's 1990 analysis of osteosarcoma rates among young males in fluoridated versus unfluoridated areas in the U.S., and the New Jersey Department of Health's 1992 analysis of osteosarcoma rates among young males in fluoridated versus unfluoridated areas of Central New Jersey.
In addition, two later independent analyses of NCI's national cancer data also found a relationship between fluoridation and osteosarcoma among young males (Yiamouyiannis 1993; Takahashi 2001).
Taken together as a whole, the evidence - laboratory, animal, and human - suggests that fluoride could either directly initiate, or contribute to, the development of osteosarcoma in boys under the age of 20.

We all know to "Never drink the water", from public sources.
drinking botteled water is for the moment the most safe , i guess.
even the water at your own home is not safe ..
i know.. i experienced some issues with it.. :(

Fluoridation of water is a crime. The even worse crime is that they use silicate fluoride when they fluoridate the water in USA. Which is a industrial waste from aluminum production. I really got concerned about fluoride when I learned about the Nazi concentration camps and the Soviet gulags. They used fluoride in the water to keep the prisoners docile. They still do this in prisons all over the world. I knew that fluoride was toxic it is elementary chemistry after all. And fluoride is the second most toxic basic element we have. But I didn’t suspect the sinister aspects of the use of fluoride around the world. Another adverse effect of silicate fluoride poisoning is that it reinforces the effect of lead poisoning. One of the adverse effects of lead poisoning is that it leads to violent behavior and often drug abuse. That became obvious in the 70’s and 80’s when they used lead in gasoline. And several studies were undertaken studying the link between lead poisoning and violence. By statistics in USA the majority of violent and drug offenders in USA have lead and silicate fluoride poisoning
