Abstract / Excerpt:

The Nutrient Data Laboratory (NDL), Agriculture Research Service, USDA, coordinated the development of the USDA National Fluoride Database of Selected Beverages and Foods subsequently described as the National Fluoride Database–a critical element of the comprehensive multi-center National Fluoride Database and Intake Study
(NFDIAS).  This second release of the USDA National Fluoride Database includes a column with mean values reported in parts per million, some data changes, and some new data resulting from aggregations of the Jackson (Jackson et. al., 2002) data and new data from University of Minnesota(UMN), Nutrition Coordinating Center and University of Iowa (UIowa), College of Dentistry data (UMN-UIowa) along with data from other literature and unpublished sources.  These new aggregations have resulted in increases in the number of data points and in the number of studies resulting in tighter minimum to maximum values ranges, tighter lower and upper Error Bounds, and in some cases improved confidence codes.  The National Fluoride Database has been incorporated into a computer-based fluoride assessment tool being developed by the University of Minnesota, Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC), as a module of the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDS-R) software.
