This study examined the effects of fluoride levels in drinking water and the incidence of bone cancer in children under 20 years of age. Data was used from 11 hospitals and 103 cases of bone cancer reported. These were matched against 215 controls.
The study found:
(a) For males exposure to high levels of fluoride in the drinking water was associated with increased rates of bone cancer at all ages. This peaked at age 7 where there was a 446% increased risk.
(b) The association for females was much less pronounced.
