Second Look’s increasing focus on the toxicity of fluorides and fluorine compounds and related health effects is largely the result of fluoride's ongoing “invisibility”. We have been striving to convey the scientific information that is known about fluoride/fluorine compound toxicity to those who ought to know but do not. We are also trying to stimulate scientific, public, and government interest in fluoride-related issues that have been virtually ignored.
Fluoride toxicosis (poisoning), both chronic and acute, is one of these neglected areas. New approaches are badly needed to address this critical lack of attention and knowledge. Second Look is actively developing our new research-based program, Fluoride Toxicity Research Collaborative (FTRC), in order to find progressive solutions!
