is fluoride toothpaste toxic? #shorts
Fluoride often sparks debate, with many concerned about its safety in toothpaste and water supply. This article sheds light on these concerns and clarifies common misconceptions.
A frequent claim in online discussions is that fluoride is toxic. This statement can be misleading.
- Fluoride is not toxic at the levels commonly encountered in dental products.
- Much like how oxygen, a vital element, can be toxic at extreme levels, everyday exposure to fluoride is safe.
- Fluoride occurs naturally in many foods, absorbed by plants from soil.
- Interestingly, common beverages like coffee and tea also contribute more to our fluoride intake than dental hygiene products.
The concept of toxicity depends largely on concentration and exposure levels. This can be put into perspective by looking at oxygen.
If there were too much oxygen in the air, our lungs couldn't handle it. Oxygen would be toxic at a certain level, but we're just not exposed to that toxic amount.
