Mr. Lubkin is "citing" these journals? I had the impression that Mr.
Lubkin is citing one specific tract put out by a dedicated anti-fluoride
advocate - whose interpretation and accuracy are open to speculation.
This is quite different from citing articles read first hand.

If Mr. Lubkin HAS read all of the mentioned articles, I extend my
apologies to him, and my congratulations for having plodded through
JAMA, J. Dent. Res., and (my favorite) the Swedish Dental Times, which
was mentioned in another posting. Not many American engineers bother to
read Swedish medical journals!
