BTW. This goes back to the John Birch society’s anti fluoridation crap over 50 years ago
I am sure that Russia’s “Storm 15-16” misinformation network is pushing this bullshit and
using idiots like RFK Jr. and Paxton to spread the lies and cause social disruption.

Next thing they will tell me that we are getting more cases of measles because people
are getting vaccinated against that disease.

“Fluoride in toothpaste is a key ingredient that helps prevent cavities and strengthens tooth enamel. It's a naturally occurring mineral found in many sources, including drinking water and some foods. Fluoride toothpaste is a popular and effective way to incorporate fluoride into your daily oral hygiene routine.”
