Do you know how much fluoride you're already swallowing? |
Many beverages, baby foods, cereals, and juices processed with fluoridated water, and vegetables having been sprayed with fluoride-based pesticides and fertilizers already contain unsafe levels of fluoride far above the amount suggested (1 part per million) for our water. In addition, it is impossible to control the amount of water people drink; therefore, it is impossible to control how much fluoride adults, children, and infants consume. Overdosing is inevitable. |
