1.  There is no scientific journal that has stated fluoride to be a neurotoxin.

2.  There is no substance known to man which is not toxic at improper levels, including plain water.  

3.  The optimal level of fluoride is the officially recommended concentration of fluoride in drinking water as established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.  This optimal level is 0.7 ppm.

4.  There is no valid, peer-reviewed scientific evidence that fluorosis is “an indicator of what’s happening throughout the rest of your body”.

5.  Whatever you want multiplied by 10 is a mystery.

6.  Depriving infants and children of the dental decay prevention benefit of water fluoridation, based on nothing more than false claims and misinformation, is the only instance of child abuse associated with water fluoridation.
