The troubling, tangled web of inter-connected relationships among study authors, reviewers, journal editors and commenters of some of the studies most frequently referenced by anti-fluoridation activists. (PDF) Initial associations were highlighted by Ken Perrott.
The
authors, reviewers, editors and commenters of
these studies work within a “Filter
Bubble” that needs to be exposed and broken
to prevent the ability of dubious studies to be
published and promoted – unfortunately the
bubble extends to include members of the public,
most of whom are not qualified to personally
understand and evaluate study limitations.
The
four studies singled out by
Connett & referenced in Ken Perrott’s article above are
red-highlighted
in the list of studies.
Those who have contributed to more than five of the 50 studies are highlighted.
