A member asked:
How much is considered a high level of fluoride in your system.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluoride: 8mg/kg of body weight is considered to be toxic. For a 160lb male. That means about 575mg of fluoride. Review of the literature reveals no, and I repeat "no," fluoride poisoning from toothpaste, mouthwash, naturally occurring fluoride in water supplies, or water supplies fortified with fluoride.
