Fluoride is classified as a toxic waste. In fact, not too long ago its only approved uses were as an insecticide and a RAT POISON! And that's just how your body treats it - as a poison.
Plenty of studies have been done over the years - and the results are frightening. Fluoridation has been linked to immune system alteration, musculoskeletal harm, genetic damage, thyroid dysfunction, and even cancer.
Do you think all that's worth preventing cavities?
More and more studies are showing that ingesting fluoride has absolutely no bearing on preventing tooth decay. And now the American Dental Association is advising that parents NOT give fluoridated water to babies - BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE!
Fluoride ia a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of aluminum and is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, and military nerve gas. It`s historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of fluoride up until some aluminum industries, with an overabundance of the stuff, sold the public on the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of the public buying it at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our water supplies, and then DRINKING it.

Fluoride is the main chemical in making toothpastes. But the overuse of it or excessive content of it in a toothpaste may cause trouble since it is an active chemical. Toothpastes are mainly for teeth whitening purposes. Find the real essence of toothpastes at http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com/

No, it will not cause harm. Some fluoride as with many elements is a good thing. Actually fluoride helps to build stronger bones and is important in helping to prevent osteoporosis. Keep in mind homeostasis; it is a state of balance. Too much is not a good thing, but neither is not enough.

In the amount found int toothpaste -- no, not unless you ate a bunch of it. It has more benefits than harm.

flouride is quite a toxic substance. the mainstream public has been brainwashed into thinking it is a beneficial additive. NOT. in high concentrations, fluoride compounds are toxic and can cause death. the only way it should be ingested is through its natural existance in water or other things in nature. those are natural levels.

No it is very good for your teeth, the best tooth pastes have fluoride in them... Just don't eat it.

It is really bad if you swallow it. A lot of kids have cancer because they swallowed way too much toothpaste.

No, it strengthens the enamel which covers the tooth and helps to prevent tooth decay.
