- geggam 7y agoI am not a scientist and anyone who is should feel free but from what I have read flouride is a bioaccumlator. At what point does it become dangerous to continue to drink water ?
- yarrel 7y agoDrowning is a strong contraindicator. There is also water intoxication, which can be deadly.
- geggam 7y agoFrom flouride was assumed... humor noted ;)

- marcosdumay 7y ago> I have read flouride is a bioaccumlator Well, that's something I never heard about, and contradicts even basic high-school chemistry. Where did you read it?
- geggam 7y agovarious places on the net.. some sites are crackpot but others seem ok... I will let you decide which category this falls in https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=210&tid=38 https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=210&tid=38
- marcosdumay 7y agoThere is nothing about bioaccumulation there. Fluoride is one of those ions that diffuse thought and out of our bodies almost like there is no barrier anywhere.
- geggam 7y agoAnimals that eat fluoride-containing plants may accumulate fluoride. However, the fluoride accumulates primarily in the bones or shell rather than in edible meat.
