I have no problem with fluoride in toothpaste. First of all, you aren't supposed to swallow toothpaste. Secondly, you can purchase non-fluoridated toothpaste if you wish, so fluoride use is voluntary. Putting it in the water supply makes it compulsory.

I always used more than a pea-sized drop as a kid. Maybe that’s why I’m CRRRRAAAAAAZYYYYY!!!

If you’re swallowing that much toothpaste, you’ve probably got bigger issues. Paxton seems like he’s taking a page from the tobacco litigation, and I’m not sure it’s a good look.

Sodium fluoride-laced toothpaste was hailed and the singular best way of introducing the KNOWN biologic poison to the general public. Think of it, no longer necessary to take the kids in for a yearly dental exam for tooth decay, it was a miracle of Madison Avenue advertising executives.

So long as the sodium fluoride remains on the tooth surfaces, and is incorporated into the dental enamel, it does not pose a problem, but kids end up SWALLOWING some of the chemical, where it gets into the bloodstream, and does all its mischief.

This is stupid....going after drinking water with fluoride added is what is needed.

They mean to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids!

You mean a toothpaste with fluoride on the label has….fluoride?

Paxton is on the ball with this one.

Toothpaste?

Group Captain Mandrake was in a computer room that reminded me of what I was seeing even in the 1980s...

My boys will give you the best possible start!

I remember as a kid seeing TV commercials for toothpaste where they showed an insanely large amount, sometimes even double-layered, over the entire length of the bristles.

I figure they were trying to have you use up the tube that much faster so you had to buy more.
