When I was young, much younger than I am today, there was a “breakthrough” discovery. In fact, it was so important that everyone was talking about it. Guessed what it is yet? Fluoride toothpaste. It was all the rage. If it wasn’t fluoride toothpaste, it’s not the best.

Then today, I read this about how dentists are saying that fluoride is poison. I think I missed something from “wow! floruided toothpaste!” to “American Dental Association admits that fluoride is harmful to the development of teeth“. I still remember those ads about fluoride toothpaste and how great they were to give you stronger, healthier teeth. Oh, well, some might call this progress.
