Why is Flouride wideless used in Toothpaste and in Drinking water, if it's known to be a Poision?!

You are right that fluoride is a poison, but only in very large amounts could it be harmful to the human body, and you do not actually ingest any fluoride as you spit the toothpaste out after brushing, this is why childrens toothpastes do not contain any fluoride, because children are more likely to swallow it by accident. Fluoride is used in toothpaste as it is an excellent enamel strengthening agent and effectively prevents tooth decay.

There are alternatives, you can buy herbal toothpastes which do not contain fluoride but they will be less effective at preventing tooth decay and to be honest, there is no risk to your health unless you are eating several tubes of toothpaste a day, which hopefully you are not ;)

I would stick with the fluoride toothpaste and dont worry.Health Question & Answer

Fluoride is poison and it does nothing for adults. The only reason for putting it in drinking water is for children's teeth. It is in very small amounts like .7 ppm (part per million). The only time you really need to worry about the amount of fluoride you consume is in the summertime when you consume more amounts of tap water but usually the utility feeds less of the chemical in the summer to protect the customers.Health Question & Answer
