Original Note:
The claim that fluorosilicic acid is the same as the fluoride added to water supplies is misleading. While concentrated fluorosilicic acid is hazardous, the controlled and diluted use of fluoride in water fluoridation is safe and beneficial for dental health. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/12/facebook-posts/fluoride-safe-your-toothpaste-and-drinking-water-e/ https://factcheck.afp.com/regulators-and-health-experts-refute-false-claim-about-toxic-fluoride-levels-tap-water-and https://www.tda.org/member-center/fluoride-facts https://www.in.gov/health/eph/water-fluoridation-program/fluoride-and-water-fluoridation-information/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/highway-401-collision-1.4024721
