There really isn't any.
> What the current data shows is that there is a potential of neurotoxicity from fluoride at high levels, significantly higher than in the drinking water. But the same data shows, if anything, the managed drinking water levels are safe. Further, the best quality evidence does not show any clinical effect.

- ericmcer 2y agoThis seems to happen a lot though: some chemical/substance/whatever with benefits is discovered. Substance has negative effects on people. They test it until they find that those negative effects are no longer detectable at a certain low quantity. It gets rolled out and everyone starts putting it in their bodies. That seems like... I dunno not the safest way to do things?
