A member asked:
Why is fluoride in toothpaste when it is also found industrial waste?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluoride: Water is found both in bottles we drink as well as in our cesspools and septic tanks. Salt in excess can kill us. Dose or percentage of intake, purity and actual chemical formulation can make something safe or unsafe.
