Key Findings
- This study from Tianjin University, China, shows that Asparagus officinalis (ASP) can reduce brain damage caused by fluorosis
- ASP treatment improves brain tissue damage, increases urinary fluoride content, and enhances oxidation and inflammatory-factor levels
- ASP also reduces dental fluorosis, bone damage, and fluoride concentrations in blood and bone
