To Gail and all others who take something to extremes (even though you won’t read this)
Please look out for Sodium – an extremely toxic metal, that will kill you in very small quantities. Also – beware of anything containing Chlorine – an extremely deadly gas. Please do not ingest anything that contains these, as it will cause you to sicken and die! This means you CANNOT flavor anything with salt, as salt contains a 50-50 mixture of Sodium and Chlorine.

People – get a life! Our bodies REQUIRE very many elements, many of which are very toxic in even small quantities. Fluoride is needed in the development of enamel for teeth – take away all fluorine, and the baby’s teeth will be soft, full of cavities. It is still necessary throughout your life for other body processes. That doesn’t mean you need large amounts – tiny amounts work. You would have to eat AND swallow many cases of toothpaste in a short time in order for the fluorine to affect you – but you would be very sick LONG before that from ingesting all that toothpaste.
The same goes for many other products – and yet, you still drink alcohol, smoke, get too much sun, and drive too fast – all things that are easily preventable, cause more damage to more people, yet you PANIC over someone saying florides are poison in the quantities in toothpaste or mouthwashes!

First of all, it needs to be stated that the ’substance’ referred to as ‘Fluoride’ is a misnomer – there is no such substance listed in the periodic chart of the elements, nor in the prestigious CRC handbook, nor in the sacred ‘bible’ of the pharmaceutical industry – the illustrious ‘Merck Index’. Instead, we find a GAS called Fluorine – and from the use of this gas in various industries such as aluminium manufacturing and the nuclear industry -certain toxic by-products are created which have ‘captured’ fluorine molecules. One such toxic, poisonous ‘by-product’ is called sodium Fluoride – which according to the Merck Index is primarily used as rat and cockroach poison and is also the active ingredient in most toothpastes and as an “additive to drinking water”.

Here's an easy way to ban aspartame: don't eat it! This also has the unique benefit of allowing people who want to consume it to continue doing so. This is nanny-statism at its most absurd.

I don’t really like aspartame, ever since I stopped ingesting it my digestion has been much improved. That said it’s a little crazy passing legislation to favor natural sugars, and halting fluoride enhancement. It’s like giving an arsonist matches. Fluoride is a natural substance, we found out about it the natural way, and in small quantities it armors teeth for life. No it doesn’t effect other tissues in the body because teeth are unique, why is it a stretch to consider fluoride has a unique effect in a unique tissue. I have seen the effect it has on teeth, I have cut both fluoridated, and non fluoridated teeth and there IS a difference. I would much rather use natural sugars than fake ones, but please don’t fear fluoride, in minute quantities for kids it will help them forever.
