Fluoride toothpaste is fine, it's when you swallow the fluoride that causes issues. You wouldint swallow sunscreen would to prevent sun burns , why are we swallowing fluoride to prevent cavities ? Makes zero sense .

DogWithAKeyboard

Can anyone confirm if Shungite is a legitimately natural way to remove fluoride from water, or is it just a new age hoax?

goatmensch

Fluoride is used in rat poison. Why would anyone allow their children to brush their teeth with it?

Calcium fluoride is the naturally occurring form of fluoride and is found in most ground water in wildly varying concentrations. Sodium fluoride, a byproduct of the fertilizer production, is used in dental products. Sodium fluoride is also found in ground water due to fertilizer run off. Calcium fluoride and Sodium fluoride are both garbage, health-wise.

A reverse osmosis filter can take most things out of tap or well water. I honestly don't know if they remove fluoride, it is hard to find a concrete answer. Even if you drink pure water, fluoride can be absorbed through the skin when you shower (or breathe in steam from it), bathe, or wash hands.

If you want to challenge municipal water suppliers against adding fluoride, one good argument I have heard is that fluoridation is illegal because it is illegal to apply a treatment intended for any disease, including dental caries, unless you are a licensed medical professional. I'm guessing the water treatment workers are not M.D.'s.

Get it out of the water too. No it's not put in the water supply for your teeth.

UnknownAlias365

Wow, fuck this retarded clickbait. This is nothing new, it's always been known that small children shouldn't have fluoride toothpaste, and that statement has always been official. What's amazing is that at the time I'm typing this, ~43 people upvoted this piece of retardation. It's not the flat earthers giving conspiracy theorists bad names, it's shit like this.

Legalize-Murder

Not to mention retards like you who think the only way fluoride is in water is if people put it there.

Captain_Faggot

Soft drinks are better for you than tap water, which is retarded. I also used to wonder why the UK gov promoted having at least 8 glasses of water a day. Is that the amount you need to start fucking your organs up?

Tb0n3

Soft drinks are made from tap water, dummy.

Captain_Faggot

Don't they filter most of the crap out so the flavour stays the same?

I've never seen flouride on the back ingredient list either.

trevmon

it'll say carbonated water as the top ingredient and that has stuff in it besides just the molecule H20. Some minerals that are beneficial yes but also fluoride.

Tb0n3

They would likely need reverse osmosis or distilling to remove it.

Captain_Faggot

be cautious about prescribing dietary fluoride supplements

what the fuck do you need to prescribe that for.

Tb0n3

Repair of weak tooth enamel.

edistojim

Baking soda. Its cheaper and we know exactly what it is.

sosat_menya_reddit

That shit is bad news. Stopped using fluoride toothpaste 20 years ago. Water at home comes from a well 400 feet down.

fartyshorts

Have you tested your well water? It could still contain high levels of fluoride.

sosat_menya_reddit

We test it every couple years. It is amazingly clean. There is no industry or agriculture nearby to contaminate it and it is a really deep well for my area.

UnknownAlias365

How the fuck would water that hasn't been tampered with have fluoride?

Rellik88

Local water way may have it and leach into ground water.

fartyshorts

It (fluorine) is one of the elements

It's... Everywhere.

Legalize-Murder

You're getting downvoated by the retard brigade.

Beorn

How about aluminum deoderant? Chuck that too. Tom's makes an all natural.

sosat_menya_reddit

I use crystal deodorant (mineral salts) because regular deodorant as all kinds of nasty stuff in it.

Beorn

I use one from Tom's..it is pretty good. My wife makes some homemade ones too, but they irritate my skin.

draaaak

Give baking soda + hydrogen peroxide a try, better than any toothpaste. Just don't swallow any of it, unless you like barfing.

Beorn

I use a Tom's one that I like, but I am down for homemade stuff. We make a lot of home products ourselves.

sosat_menya_reddit

I use the crystal because pretty much everything else irritates me. It also lasts forever if you don’t drop it.

Beorn

I will check it out

MrDarkWater

Or none at all

Beorn

I like to at least mask the smell. I work in sales, so I would prefer not to stink, but I don't use anti perspirant, we are designed to sweat.

MrDarkWater

I work outside. I smell like a male animal. My brother is the only person who's noticed

Beorn

When I was a landscaper, I never wore it. I agree in general, but I understand if I want to present well to my clients, I can't stink.

MrDarkWater

Yep, I guess you can't drop the deodorant-pill while trying to make sales. I put some on for church.

Atomized_Individual

Fiji silica water removes aluminum

Beorn

Good to know. Still better to avoid smearing it in your pits, next to all those glands anyways. There are alternatives that work fine. Sweating is natural.

Privacy_Terms

Crank back the dosage, this stuff is making kids into full blown retards

That fine line between producing subservient semi functional idiots and completely worthless fucking idiots has been crossed.

Tb0n3

But there's nothing here about mental impacts. Merely dental.

TheAntiZealot

In stark contrast, when water fluoridation was first started in the U.S. in 1945, it was promised that only 10 percent of people would suffer from mild dental fluorosis at the then-recommended levels.11Clearly, they were wrong.

Gotta love that 10% is an acceptable amount of harm for no benefit.

Now compare this to gun statistics harm versus benefit. Where Self-defense is statistically significant and gun-related homicides are insignificant when suicides and inner city "youth" are factored out.

NotHereForPizza

That was pretty blunt...

I hear citric acid supplementation helps to fight over dosing on fluoride.

elitch2

Just don't consume it. I've been successfully avoiding fluoride for most of my life.

NotHereForPizza

In what ways do you expect you've benefited? Have you ever given yourself periods of controlled consumption to see if you'd recognize any differences?

trevmon

lol

NotHereForPizza

Yeah, you're right. The scientific method is rather laughable.

elitch2

No. Why would I poison myself?

NotHereForPizza

See, fluoride isn't inherently poisonous (bringing up the runoff recycling is a good argument here), as it does indeed clean teeth. The problem is people consume too much of it.

But you didn't answer the question, as you only really took the oppurtinity to snark on me despite no real obvious need to...

elitch2

You are completely misinformed.

Nobody even makes the claim that it "cleans teeth".

The fuck do you mean "inherently poisonous"? "Run off recycling"?

It's a highly toxic waste product, you fucking moron.

NotHereForPizza

I figured you'd freak out if I pushed you a little bit.

You're a bit too intense for me... Calm down.

elitch2

A bit of an insufferable faggot, aren't you?

Legalize-Murder

Hes Canadian.

NotHereForPizza

And faggot too, apparently.
