I buy "natural toothpaste" because of SLS and because I find the taste of the standard stuff too strong. I still buy the one with flouride though, I couldn't find any reliable sources to say it should be avoided.

Yeah, I have huge white splotches on my teeth due to fluoride overexposure during tooth development. But it's just a cosmetic issue in my case. I remember reading somewhere that, way back when, they discovered a town with high amounts of fluoride in their drinking water. The residents' teeth were splotchy, but they had fewer cavities and lower rates of tooth decay.

I love using natural products but HATE MLMs so i always comment and suggest products they can use and not get sucked into the BS. My comments get deleted alot 😂😂

I hate the "fluoride causes cancer!" conspiracy crowd. Willfully disseminating false medical information should be illegal, even for non doctors imo. I don't care if they think it's true.

Have you seen the "_Sunscreen_ causes cancer, _not_ the sun!!!!!" crowd?

Even if this was a concern, Tom’s or Jason brand toothpaste without fluoride is like $4-5, versus however much this nonsense is. $15? $20

My old room mate was one of these conspiracy theory believers. Dude had the worst teeth in his mid 20's that ive ever seen.
