Editor's Note:
"Race" is sometimes mentioned as a risk factor in the development of certain cancers and a number of other diseases. When you read this in a discussion about an illness, note that the explanation seldom refers to anything biological. Instead, it usually refers to behavior, such as eating habits. The kinds of behavior usually mentioned as risk factors are culturally determined. They are not genetic or biological.

According to the Mayo Clinic, primary bone cancer is rare and it's causes are unknown. Risk factors include some genetic factors (related to other medical conditions), and radiation.
Much more common is secondary bone cancer, which has spread to the bones from other primary locations.

A motion has been filed by three watchdog groups (Environmental Working Group (EWG), Fluoride Action Network (FAN) and Beyond Pesticides) seeks an immediate suspension of all food uses of the pesticide sulfuryl fluoride. The motion says that the "EPA's decision to allow huge increases in fluoride exposure via a wide range of food products flies in the face of the NAS conclusion that allowable fluoride exposures from water alone are not safe, particularly for children," said Michael Connett of FAN. They cite the March 2006 National Academy of Sciences report on fluoride safety which found that fluoride limits in tap water are not safe, especially for children and people who drink large amounts of water.

According to an Environmental Working Group report, "The National Academy of Sciences found that when fluoride is consumed in high doses--such as through food and water--it can interfere with brain functioning, cause bone fractures, dental fluorosis (weakening of the teeth), thyroid and pineal gland disorders, and worsen diabetes. Fluoride's connection to cancer, IQ deficits, dementia, immune system disorders, and other serious health risks are still being researched."
