it is horrifyingly huge. the RDA of Iodine is .15mg. on a one to one basis of weight, 1.2mg of fluoride will displace 8 days worth of Iodine in the body. fluoride is also the lightest halogen so it takes a lot more Iodine to displace it, many many times a 1:1 ratio, than it does bromine. once its in, its hard to get rid of. this fact is what drew me to iodine in the first place.

if people knew the danger of fluoride, even one tenth of it, they would be armed and int he streets demanding it be taken from their environment. instead, they are severely impaired in their brain and in their soul so that they cant even think about it. i know more about fluoride than i do about iodine. there is nothing good about fluoride. not one little tiny single tidbit of info that is positive regarding human health. for anyone to suggest it is the height of ignorance.

It's funny. The MUCH cheaper Ozarka spring water has .05 mg/liter in it.

I was paying 3 times the money for something that was bad for me. Go figure.

Of course Ozarka does make a fluoridated version which has .72 mg/liter in it. That's astronomical.

Calcium Fluoride (fluorite) is the compound that occurs naturally in minute amounts that is supposed to be normal to ingest with water, but it's not even .01 ppm from what I've seen in nature. Sodium fluoride has a different structure to it since sodium has one valence electron and fluoride has 7, so the two bond to form a stable compound.

Calcium has 2 valence electrons so it takes two fluoride atoms to stablilize the compound and I'm thinking in this case Calcium has a different effect on fluorine. But I could be wrong. It might render it inoperative in this compound, as opposed to sodium fluoride. Just speculation.
