my FIL is a dentist and claims that fluoride in toothpaste is good since it is not swallowed. But fluoride in tap water is not effective and may even be bad. This seems to back up his position.
He's either blowing smoke up your - ear , or he's ignorant of how things enter our bodies.
Ever hear of 'sub-lingual' methods of absorbing things - like Vit B12 - that absorbs faster and more completely by being dissolved under the tongue than swallowed?
Many medicines, even nitroglycerin, is now administered through small patches on the body, absorbed through the skin.
How any thinking person could use fluoride toothpaste OR give it to their kids, is beyond my comprehension.
Ever read the warning required by the gov't on fluoride toothpaste tubes? It warns you that if you use even a pea size amount and swallow to call the poison control immediately. And then they make flavored toothpaste, like bubblegum and grape for kids.
WAKE UP AMERICA
He is nuts if he thinks children don’t swallow toothpaste. And how much leaches into the water just from using toothpaste?
these libtards are the ones that put it in the water in the first place. Your average dentist didn’t have any input.
This was added to the water at the same time the government was mandating fortified breads etc... some of these have been found ineffective but not impacting your health. But these regulations are still enforced.
Where do regulations go to die? well, the same place the government goes to die of course that created them in the first place.
