Re: Flouride toxicity levels lower then claimed!

I agree that the toxic dose as well as the minimum lethal dose of fluoride is believed much too high.

In Austria a young boy, I'm not sure if 3 years old or older, died in 1976 from about 200 Tablets i.e. 200 mg F- !

I suggest to reinvestigate this case.

There is also literature from which a much lower acute toxic dose (2-3 mg/kg body weight) and lethal dose (6-9 mg/kg) than cited in most data banks in the Internet can be derived:
