Dear Readers: 

The Fluoride Action Network is excited to announce the launch of the [**FAN Study Tracker**](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=q%2Fw7iv09kWZcVsbYYo%2Bh2mH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org), the most up-to-date and comprehensive source for fluoride health research, including studies investigating how fluoride affects the [brain](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XyOGMsf8DJdBb5YFLjzT3LYKtIeiaDMe&ref=foodconsumer.org) (e.g., [IQ scores](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=pK4hAkGRNfOfqaOeM5WBv2H6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org)), the[bones/joints](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=RCcG6X4DKO4EVk6iJ9ImuWH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) (e.g., [arthritis](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=tAqBCrXrSqp89Y%2FFgPFPH2H6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org)), the [cardiovascular system](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Gplkuz1TuAgr01ahOMudF2H6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org), the [kidneys](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PwCnxY07JQa%2B05nOfRW9OGH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org), and the [thyroid gland.](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=MEjq23Z94Xwf7EPg794aq7YKtIeiaDMe&ref=foodconsumer.org)

Features of the Study-Tracker include:

• Over 1,500 abstracts and over 400 full-text studies.

• Filters that enable 80+ years of research to be organized by health category/subcategory, study type, and date.

• FAN's entire set of [translated studies,](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ogeT6XYPMNEpKQnLFSEH%2FWH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) including over 25 new translations that have not previously been released.

• A "Related Content" feature that provides links to relevant FAN content for each study.

The depth of the Study-Tracker can be seen in the following numbers:

• [845](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=mxkri8JzKxc3R%2FlimZjvdGH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies since 2000, including [181](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YojSmVXaiIlZrYJEa6KuhmH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies since 2013.

• [456](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=R%2B3r%2BrJsetsNHTuVmVUKH2H6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on the skeletal system, including [76](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7E95KPIj6IRBIYQVaRt8UmH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on arthritis.

• [294](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3%2Bk7OVHbmHw%2BsPKPq4vO4WH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on the mechanisms by which fluoride damages cells, including[155](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nFsNlBTfq%2Fpw2uHdabD0%2BGH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) on oxidative stress.

• [237](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=HwoUOREBL%2BQQE00QvfdEmWH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on the brain, including [95](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=h7hRnLbQDQfTLIgFePGhf2H6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on cognitive function.

• [182](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=D9YcqCjbapobH0jKpXTvdWH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on the kidneys, including [64](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YiPF1bu4%2BNKt%2FBUM0HFJ72H6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org) studies on the heightened risks faced by kidney patients.

These numbers will continue to grow as new research is published, and new features will continue to be added.

FAN is committed to improving public awareness about the risks that fluoride poses to human health. We believe the Study-Tracker will help in this effort by making the science on fluoride toxicity more readily available than ever before. For information about how to use the Study Tracker, we put together the following video:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flhSYK-TKI4](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=a5dxJ2mRYWYFNGl5NBSVX7YKtIeiaDMe&ref=foodconsumer.org).

And now, without further ado, the [**FAN Study Tracker**](http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=logmjw1I0DcbKLyfoaa7%2BGH6IZlXg%2Bf0&ref=foodconsumer.org).

*\*NOTE about SAFARI BROWSER: It has come to our attention that the Study Tracker is not currently working properly in Safari browser. We are currently working to fix this problem and recommend, in the meantime, that you use another browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome) to access the Tracker.*
