After numerous delays, and interventions by Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine, the US National Toxicology Program’s review of Fluoride’s toxicity will soon be released to the public. The move is the latest development in the nearly decade-long legal battle between the Fluoride Action Network, Food and Water Watch, Organic Consumers Association, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).
Attorneys with the Fluoride Action Network and the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (“NIEHS”), parent agency for the National Toxicology Program (“NTP”), have agreed to the release of the long-delayed NTP review on fluoride’s toxicity. The release of the documents will play a major role in the next phase of the ongoing lawsuit against the EPA.
The decision to release the documents was made at a 3 February meeting between counsel for the Fluoride Action Network and the NIEHS following a subpoena requesting comments from the agency, the NTP’s responses, and additional documents relevant to the decision not published in the NTP’s completed fluoride monograph in May 2022.
The NIEHS agreed to publicly post the NTP monograph to the NTP website, as well as comments provided by a little-known bureaucracy known as the Board of Scientific Counsellors, and the NTP’s subsequent responses. In addition to the NTP monograph, they will also publish a related meta-analysis that has been a subject of debate in recent hearings.
