Fluoride - Dangerous?

[Evil Eye]

Well this site: http://www.nofluoride.com/ (don't mind the crappy design

) claims that fluoride is rather more dangerous than you'd think... given that it's put in drinking water in some countries.



So... did you know this?

Tl;Dr



That site hurt my head.



Well Fluoride is an ion of Fluorine, which is a very reactive element. And actually since the compun's that Fluorine can make is so diverse, that toxicity isn't really known to humans

Just read a scan from a Belgian paper (it read better than that site

), seems like there's a lot of fluoride around...

I just read my previous post over again and the grammar's terrible XD



Anyway, they put Fluorides in water, toothpaste, etc...

Tooth fillings too

 

[The Dragon Master]

Probably XD

 

[DrLeftover]

Yes, it is very dangerous.

And yes the US Government knows it

But we must protect children's teeth, even if it kills them.

I used to live in Texas and we had fluoride in our tap water. So for drinking water we would buy gallon jugs of water like you do milk at the grocery store.

 

[DrLeftover]

Did those jugs of water say from municipal water source?

I didn't know, but as long as I don't start eating my toothpaste I'm not really worried.

Whenever I go to the dentist I always say no to it. My mom has never let me get it.

Also we buy toothpaste with none in it.
