Well from what i know fluoride in fact is harmfull.... in the wrong proportion. In "good" proportion, it actualy makes your bones/teeths stronger and more durable.
In my country, every child at age like 10 or something has fluoridesation treatment in school. The schools must actualy pay for it.
But what are the "right" proportion i dont know.
Just as i said - ive checked all the tootpastes i have in home and all of them have fluoride. But i dont know if the proportions are right.
As i said previously all of them have "1450 ppm F" but i dont know what that means.
EDIT:
I did a little research in my native language websites regarding fluoride and i must say i am safe heh. In Poland they have stoped adding fluoride to water 15years ago. But i am still not sure about the toothpaste. I never knew you cant swallow it. I mean, obviously, in common sense, eating toothpaste isnt a good idea but for it to be so dangerous? that i havent knew.
Also from what i read, the toothpastes that has fluoride DO helps for your teeths but only till you are around 20years old. And only in the right proportions. So brushing your teeths after each meal with a toothpaste rich with fluoride is very dangerous.
I am very sceptical in nature so i asked the question:
"Then if its that bad, why its still in use?". And when the stake is unknown - it always is money or/and power. But if selling this legit poison benefits someone - taking out that poison from open market will also benefit someone else. Just as everything must have its replacement.
Maybe its an attempt to take over the toothpastes market?
As ridiculous it might sound i am quite serious.
And i still cant learn whats the "right" or "safe" proportion of the fluoride =\</p>
