http://www.fluoridedebate.com/question21.html: *Acute fluoride toxicity occurring from the ingestion of optimally fluoridated water is impossible.104 The amount of fluoride necessary to cause death for a human adult (155 pound man) has been estimated to be 5-10 grams of sodium fluoride, ingested at one time.140 This is more than 10,000-20,000 times as much fluoride as is consumed at one time in a single 8-ounce glass of optimally fluoridated water.* * * So, you need to ingest about sixty gallons at one time (we can even suppose you have a whole day to do that). I suspect that if you were able to do that you would need to deal with other problems unrelated to too much fluoride. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
