Original Note:
The Fluoride used is from fertilizer production. Like many chemicals, it is toxic in its pure form. But it never reaches the public & the resulting fluoride is diluted in water plants to a safe amount. Regulated water fluoridation is safe at 0.7 mg/L. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/12/facebook-posts/fluoride-safe-your-toothpaste-and-drinking-water-e/ https://origins.osu.edu/article/toxic-treatment-fluorides-transformation-industrial-waste-public-health-miracle https://www.nature.com/articles/4812863 https://msdh.ms.gov/page/43,24339,151,220.html https://friscominimolars.com/weird-kind-disgusting-history-fluoride/ McGill: https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/health/fluoride-controversy https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/medical-critical-thinking-history/fluoride-controversy
