$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jupiters_release', 'A')re you naive? Who do you think is paying for those studies? Do you really believe your skin/mouth doesn't absorb chemicals?
I don't think there is any evidence that fluoride doesn't give your teeth at least some benefit. If you want to go find that evidence and present it here, I'll be grateful. You might also want to go find out how much fluoride is absorbed through your mouth, I guess you think ALL of it is? How many servings are in a stick of toothpaste, maybe 100? And the whole thing contains enough to kill a 25 pound child if consumed at once.
Obviously I am not absorbing so much fluoride that I have died yet, and that's my only fluoride source that you say I am getting through mouth/skin contact. I think the only problem intelligent people have with fluoride is consuming it in vast quantities, like in the water supply. People like you complaining about washing your teeth with minute amounts of fluoride that you never swallow are crackpots.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jupiters_release', 'G')et with it man, you can buy Auromere toothpaste - free of fluoride and sodium lauryl sulphate especially if you're gonna boast about your well water supply. And your diet better be 100% organic if you wanna stay on that pedastal.
Why? The best toothpastes have fluoride in them. By best, I am talking about ones which seem to keep your teeth whiter and "cleaner" for longer. Though a lot of people say there isn't much difference using say bicarb or salt water compared to normal toothpaste, I can notice the difference personally. That's just my opinion and I wouldn't call anyone stupid for not using fluoride to wash their teeth, it does a better job, but it is dangerous if you eat a lot of toothpaste, I agree.
