Impact of Fluoride Exposure on Male Reproductive Parameters: A Pilot Case-Control Study in Sri Lanka

C. R. Gulegoda et al.

Summary: Excessive fluoride levels in drinking water can lead to male infertility. This study found that males from areas with higher fluoride exposure had significantly lower sperm count, motility, and viability compared to those from non-endemic areas. There was a significant correlation between serum fluoride concentration and these sperm parameters. The findings highlight the importance of serum fluoride concentration in male subfertility in fluorosis endemic regions.

Contribution to the ongoing discussion on fluoride toxicity

Sabine Guth et al.

Summary: Since the 1940s, there have been ongoing discussions about the benefits and risks of adding fluoride to drinking water. A recent review focused on assessing the risk of current exposure levels in Europe to human health. Despite inconsistent data, the evidence does not support the idea that fluoride should be considered a human developmental neurotoxicant at current exposure levels in European countries.
