    You’re not swallowing toothpaste. I don’t know enough about the effects of fluoride to agree or disagree with the removal. Being a guy with healthy teeth, a …few years under his belt and living on well water for damn near all of them, I’m pretty comfortable saying leave it in the toothpaste where it’ll have fewer unintended consequences

      It has been proven in repeated studies that fluoride in the water helps prevent tooth issues for children in low income families.

      There is much less fluoride in water than in toothpaste, so the swallowing comparison is a little bit extra.

      Then why even comment on it? You realize that there are people who do know a lot about this stuff. Like they’ve dedicated their lives to studying it. And I imagine you could even find their published research online. You know, like actual science? Do you remember how the scientific method works?

      But nah, instead you’ll just make an unwarrantedly confident comment about something you know nothing about based on “vibes”

      Just like American voters.
