The
Evanston Trial
These comments on the Evanston trial
were published in 1980 in the present author's book Fluoridation Scientific
Criticisms and Fluoride Dangers. It was stated:
"Additional Errors in the
Evanston Trial Data.
In January, 1967, which was the
twentieth anniversary of the commencement of the Evanston Trial, an entire
special issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association was devoted to
a report on that study (Blayney and Hill, 1967). In this, the original tables,
complete with their gross numerical errors, were reproduced, despite the fact
that these [errors] had been pointed out eight years earlier (Sutton, 1959) and
some of them had been acknowledged by the authors (Sutton, 1960). In addition,
several faulty tables were published for the first time.
The tables [in this issue of the J.
Amer. Dent. Ass.] then showed three different statements regarding the number
of children aged 6-8 years who were examined in Evanston during the 1946
examination:
(i) 1991 children - see Tables 10,
11,30,40 and 47.
(ii) 1985 children - see Tables 7,8,16,18,21 and 32.
