Is Fluoride in Toothpaste Harmful? A Controversial Claim Sparks Debate

Concerns Raised Over Fluoride in Toothpaste A recent video posted online has sparked debate about the safety of fluoride in toothpaste. The video, filmed in a British supermarket, features Tonichealth, who questions the widespread use of fluoride, citing its potential neurotoxicity. "What we also know is fluoride is a neurotoxin," Tonichealth states, referencing studies suggesting a link between higher fluoride exposure and lower IQ in children. However, the video's claims lack detailed scientific evidence. Experts in dentistry and public health often point to the benefits of fluoride in preventing tooth decay. A balanced discussion is needed to address the concerns raised while considering the established benefits of fluoride in maintaining oral health. Further research and expert commentary are necessary to fully understand the implications of the claims made in the video. The debate highlights the importance of informed decision-making regarding oral hygiene practices.
