wakefield-retracted-vaccine-studyIt’s hard to keep track of what peer-reviewed papers that have been retracted. Here, we will keep an up to date list on all fluoride related papers that have been retracted. Retraction Watch and Peer-review Watch websites are great sources in tracking down retracted papers.

 

Impacts of Fluoride in Drinking Water and Role of pH in its Removal Efficiency: A Critical Review (2013) from Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology.

The Accepted Manuscript “Impacts of Fluoride in Drinking Water and Role of pH in its Removal Efficiency: A Critical Review,” by S. Satheesh Babu, Sunil Kumar, Pravin Dinkar Nemade, Tarit Roychowdhury has been removed as the manuscript contained language from already published sources without proper citation and credit.

Serum Fluoride Level and Children’s Intelligence Quotient in Two Villages in China (2010) from Environmental Health Perspectives.

Following Ahead of Print publication EHP learned that many of the data had been published in a previous paper (Xiang et al. 2003. Effect of fluoride in drinking water on children’s intelligence. Fluoride 36: 84-94), in violation of EHP‘s policy regarding the use of previously published material in original Research Articles. Consequently, the paper was withdrawn by EHP on 10 January 2011.

This was cited by Peter Vallone, a New York City council member representing Queens, as evidence that the city should stop fluoridating its water.
