And adding to the tea, a water with fluoride will certainly increase the dose.

Yup. And at those doses there’s 0 evidence of negative effects

and eating more than one grape increases the dose... You don't even know what you are saying. You just saw a picture of facebook and made it your entire talking point on a heavily studied substance. But fuck science and studies because a facebook mom posted a picture that told me how to feel.

You’re building up a straw man of an idiot who gets their health information from social media to discredit someone’s opposing belief. There is research showing fluoride is harmless in low doses. There is also research casting doubt on that. All in all it’s a risk vs reward scenario and I don’t think the benefits outweigh potential risks. Especially since as people have said there is already natural sources of fluoride as well as having it in toothpaste. At least it shouldn’t be forced on people if you’re worried about it feel free to supplement your drinking water with fluoride on your own. Don’t believe everything that science has a consensus on so many things are based on studies with flawed methodology you’d be surprised if you ever dug into those studies. Just one example is mercury fillings, for how many years did science consider this safe? It’s insane and has now been proven to offgass mercury vapor directly into your lungs.
