Fluoride

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

I wanted to check on one of the claims made by the Dr. Osmunson: is the amount of Fluoride in my water equivalent to the amount of Fluoride in a pea of my tooth paste? According to "http://thyroid.about.com/library/articles/blfluoridefinder.htm" there is .40 mg of Fluoride per Liter of water where I live. My toothpaste says that it's 0.2% Fluoride out of 181 grams. 0.2% of 181 grams is 0.3 grams or 300mg. My toothpaste bottle is a regular sized 0.2 Liters. In 1 liter of my toothpaste, there is 1500mg of Fluoride proving that Dr. Osmunson's comparison of a glass of water to a pea of toothpaste is an exaggeration. I looked at the concentrations of Fluoride in other US States and so far none have gone passed a one tenth of a gram of Fluoride per Liter which are far from being comparable to the amount of Fluoride in any amount of toothpaste.
