    What is false, I stated their is no mechanism to bring fluoride topically back to the teeth where it is effective. You did nothing to refute this.

    Besides the fact that flouride is metabolized and delivered to your calcified tissues, where it plays a role in the mineralization of your teeth? And that the mineralization of your teeth is the main mechanism in flouride reducing cavities? It’s false because topical application isn’t the only way flouride reduces cavities.

    And we are not talking like anything could be a poison because even relatively small amount of fluoride introduced to the body can be harmful

    … The majority of the time natural occuring levels or the levels introduced artificially are not harmful but that is not my point.

    Even relatively small amounts can be harmful, so it’s poison? But the majority of time it’s not harmful. So how exactly is it poison?

    I don’t care if you claim to visit a wastewater plant or a fertilizer production site. I don’t see the research you’ve done here. I care that you don’t back up your claims with a single shred of evidence. If you want to make a point about how flouridation can be unnecessary, then you have provided some evidence there. Good work. If you want to claim that it’s poison, then provide the evidence for that too.

    Go ahead and block me, if you can’t or won’t do that.

      Jeez, they just went ahead and blocked me without any threats first. What makes you so special?

      You make a lot of outlandish claims like ingesting flouride helps with cavities. This is nowhere in any literature. It is not my responsibility to prove anything to you that a simple Google search could.

      I guess I will provide you one link to help explain something you are in complete denial about.

      Simply put it is far cheaper to dispose waste fluoride in our municipal water supplies than to actually treat it. Instead of paying large amounts to make it inert they sell it for profit.

      You didn’t know this because you never have actually studied this. I have. Your continued ignorance in this subject is pretty ridiculous. You do seem somewhat civil so I suppose I like wasting my time. Or perhaps I feel it is some sort of perverse test of what I have gone through learning this myself in a high level University class.

      Really there is no point because you will just attack the messenger and continue to doubt. I was just here to share my story because I was invited to. You are rude and inconsiderate of this with your misfounded accusations.

      Really, as I have pointed out this is all caused by a bacteria. Science has already moved far beyond the discussion we are having and I believe in the future fluoride may not be necessary at all. Until then, I will continue to brush my teeth with fluoride based toothpaste to prevent cavities.

        If flouride helps with cavities (it does) and is metabolized when ingested and distributed to your teeth (it is), then I’m going to give you credit enough to assume you can put 1 and 1 together and realize how silly you sound

          Fluoride is effective topically, a side effect of too much fluoride is what you describe. Like eating too many carrots turns your skin orange. Your skin turning orange is not proof that it is working rather a side effect of too much beta carotene.

          Fluoride works by disrupting the the bacteria and strengthening the enamel of your teeth. I mean the only silliness here is you at this point. There is a reason you are not supposed to swallow fluoride toothpaste and that there is a poison control number on the box.

          In fact, I would say at this point, since you are so uniformed, you are just being rude.
