It sure is, in concentrations 100-1,000x what is found in drinking water, and when applied topically, not swallowed.

No, it was originally noticed as a result of naturally occurring in water. Not at those concentrations and it was swallowed.

where are you applying topical flouride, and why are you eating it to begin with. also its not commercially available to normal people.

I drink plenty of filtered water, like most Americans, which removes the fluoride.

Ah yes, Americans, the epitome of health. One could never guess that you dont drink fluoride, amazing.

Regular filtering doesn't work you need reverse osmosis or other specialized filters
