Fluoride is one of those subjects that rather mystifies me. I have read many articles and reports that call it a dangerous toxin. These are not just opinions, these are studies, with research and footnotes. And still, most of the world vehemently disagrees.
I am not a scientist, nor political in any way. Maybe that's why I can never get the fluoride picture to hang together in a way that makes sense. I have no political lobby or philosophical axe to grind. I'd just like to know what the truth is, and I'd like for both sides of the issue to seem to be in the same world I'm in. So in the interests of figuring things out, I'm highlighting this article on fluoride, which takes what seems to be the underdog position. I'm a sucker for a good underdog ...
"According to information from its Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride is a dangerous toxin that can cause serious physical harm."
