1.  Fluoride is a negatively charged atom of the element fluorine.  It is not considered “Hazardous Waste” by the EPA or any other credible source. 

2.  The FDA has no jurisdiction over fluoride in drinking water.  There is no requirement, or need, for the FDA to approve substances over which it has no jurisdiction.  The FDA does have jurisdiction over retail products containing fluoride.  If the FDA  deemed there to be any problems with safety of fluoride in such products, there would be hundreds of miles of empty shelf space where now are located fluoridated water and fluoridated dental products. 

3.   There is no “world’s most prestigious medical journal” which has classified fluoride as a neurotoxin.  If you care to belabor the point then provide valid, documented evidence of such classification.

4.  Quite obviously, there are far more aspects involved in dental decay incidence than one, single preventive measure.
