Osteosarcoma is actually one of the more common bone cancers for children, (the other being Ewing's sarcoma). (Yes, overall incidence is low). There was no link with the actual DATA in the origional post you provided. Harvard officials would not release an advance copy of the article, but a Wall Street Journal story said it will show that boys who drank water with approximately 0.3 to 0.99 milligrams per liter had *five times* the risk of osteosarcoma as boys drinking nonfluoridated water. And there are clear benefits in studies... In terms of preventing dental issues and beyond. Also, a significant minority of water supplies in the UK are naturally flouride-containing. See the York revirew: http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/fluorid.htm In late March, a National Academy of Sciences panel concluded that the maximum amount allowed by the federal government -- 4 milligrams per liter of water -- puts children at risk for developing mottled, pitted teeth and can weaken bones over a lifetime, making fractures more likely. The maximum considered-safe level here is 1ppm. AndrewC Dawn Falcon ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Robert J. Chassell wrote: An optimist -- and I am still an optimist -- will argue that in spite of forgone opportunities, the USA could help create a more civilized and sustainable world. Excellent post, Robert, you should have given it a Brin header. As for optimism, I'm afraid I've lost some of mine. Five years of W, the packing of the SC with legal ludites, the knowledge that a solid majority of the people in this country believe that the universe was created in six (literal) days, the fact that my government would not only condone torture but make it official policy; well, you know the refrain. Maybe we can still do all the things you suggest, but it will require a sea change in attitude from where we seem to be right now. -- Doug On Board maru ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
