I don’t know why people can’t keep an open mind and look at issues without prejudice. What did I do to you for the name calling?

Anyway fluoride in water can be toxic. It’s all about the dose

Well sorry, I suppose I didn't need to call your comment asinine.

But this is not an unknown issue. Multitudes of testing throughout decades have shown there is no toxicity for the levels that are in water. The county you're living in most likely has their own case study available for you to read.

I can look at issues without prejudice, but valid issues. This is not one of those.

Also, if you're talking about toxicity due to dose, you'll die from water consumption before you'd get anywhere near toxic levels of fluoride. Don't even think about any sort of medication you're taking, it's also probably more toxic than the levels of fluoride in water.

Again, sorry. I don't want to be mean, but there's so much information out there opposing your comment. I'd happily point you in the right direction if you'd like to read up on the plethora of resources stating it's not toxic, and at least somewhat beneficial.
