Original Note:
The fluoride involved in the Ohio spill was likely a much more concentrated industrial chemical, not the diluted form found in consumer toothpaste. The video's claim equating the two is misleading and not supported by the available evidence. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/12/facebook-posts/fluoride-safe-your-toothpaste-and-drinking-water-e/ https://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/basics/fluoride-products.html#:~:text=Concentrations%20of%20fluoride%20in%20toothpaste,range%20from%201%2C000%E2%80%931%2C500%20ppm.&text=Most%20people%20report%20brushing%20their,use%20can%20offer%20additional%20protection.
