In assessing whether fluoridated water can cause cancer, what do the National Research Council, National Health Service, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention all agree on?

Answer
A
Osteosarcoma is so rare that there is little need to study the risk of fluoride.
B
Fluoride should not be added to water according to research from dentists.
C
There is a need for further research.

Explanation

The three organizations recognize that the evidence about whether fluoridated water causes cancer is not conclusive and that the question needs further study. They do not agree that osteosarcoma is too rare to investigate or that fluoride should not be added to water. Therefore, the shared conclusion is that more research is needed.
