Yep Fluoride is a poison. a tube of toothpaste is definitely seriously dangerous for a small child to ingest. It says on the tube to contact your accident and emergency centre if a child has swallowed a lot. yet they still put it in the water in a lot of the US states and in the north in the UK. and it doesn't have a lockable cap on either!

I happen to live in the North,and am also old enough to recall the times past when I could turn on the cold water tap full flow & smell nothing,yet now I can smell something.My teeth still rot if I don't clean them,which requires toothpaste,which can poison humans! Oh christ,all I need now is for the Boffins to announce that sugar is lethal & needs taxed & I might as well start swallowing the e-liquids now.

Some studies show that water fluoridation is unnecessary in places where fluoride toothpaste is used regularly. Nowadays, it's probably unnecessary altogether in most areas.
