    And a teaspoon is 5 ml. Flouridated water is, on average, 0.7 mcg/L. Therefore, you would have to drink over 17,000 liters of water for the flouride to kill you.

      That’s cool, but kind of irrelevant to their remark that sodium fluoride is safe.

          I wouldn’t call a chemical that kills you if you eat a teaspoon of it “safe”. It literally has a H301 “acutely toxic chemical” rating.

            sigh

            It’s safe in the levels added to drinking water.

            Absolutely no one is saying pure sodium fluoride is safe.

              You would have to be intentionally consuming a LOT of Sodium Flouride to cause issues.
