Anything is poisonous/toxic given the right conditions and dosage. Under the right conditions I can kill you using pure O2. The only thing that is "stupid" is clinging to silly good chemical/bad chemical dichotomies without taking context and dosage into consideration.
Low-dosage flouride in a water supply has been shown over and over again in epidemiological studies to reduce the incidence of oral cavities from 15-40%. There have been no reputable studies to show that there are dangers to this low dose.

- teilo 16y agoDosage is exactly my point. Dosage is cumulative. Those studies do not correlate the dosage of water to the fluoride people receive from other sources, such as their food. Nor do they measure the concentrating effect that the use of fluoridated water in the production of various food-stuffs has on the end product. This is a big "?" that no one wants to address.
