Answer 3

Fluoride in water is not safe either, and you are not supposed to swallow toothpaste. The trailers which were given to the people after Katrina were full of formaldehyde and many of them became ill. Formaldehyde is used in much furniture also. I do not like polyester sheets or plastic beds. The mini-blinds have lead in the paint also. There is nothing safe anymore.

I don't think there has ever been, not at least after 1960. There used to be in shampoo. I remember reading that on the label.
