Does the water you drink have fluoride in it?
How about the schools your children attend or your places of employment?
Even if your answer is no, most everyone is still exposed to it via many other methods such as the food chain and the water cycle that carries the particles up into the atmosphere where they collect and travel until they precipitate back to the ground. That may not seem like any big deal on the surface, but a deeper look tells of the accumulative effects fluoride can have.
There are still many who don't even realize there is cause for concern, believing that dentists wouldn't recommend it, products wouldn't contain it, and municipalities would not add it, but a simple look on a tube of fluoride toothpaste will reveal a warning from poison control, and those most likely to eat toothpaste are also those who are already most at risk.
When one begins to consider the various sources and types of exposure they really are subjected to on a daily basis and how various combinations of these substances can alter their effects on living things, once more on their own, it becomes clear that things aren't always quite as straightforward as they seem.
Did you know:
- Just one glass of fluoridated water meets the daily allowance of what is considered safe.
- The amount of toothpaste shown on a toothbrush in commercials is equivalent to what is considered safe for use over an entire month- not a single brushing.
