    You’re not swallowing toothpaste. I don’t know enough about the effects of fluoride to agree or disagree with the removal. Being a guy with healthy teeth, a …few years under his belt and living on well water for damn near all of them, I’m pretty comfortable saying leave it in the toothpaste where it’ll have fewer unintended consequences

      It has been proven in repeated studies that fluoride in the water helps prevent tooth issues for children in low income families.

      There is much less fluoride in water than in toothpaste, so the swallowing comparison is a little bit extra.
