Oh that's right, sublingual mucosal absorption doesn't occur so there is no way you could ever absorb toxins with your mouth.

I'm not surprised you don't understand. Let me explain it to you.
If you consume 8 servings at 1ppm per 1 serving; how is that not consuming 8 ppm? I don't understand what kind of half ass logic you were applying there..

1 ppm is represents a level of concentration. No matter how much you consume of something with a concentration of 1ppm the concentration will still be 1 ppm. What you are claiming is the equivalent of saying if you have 5 shots of 80 proof whiskey (45% percent alcohol, 450,000 ppm) it becomes 400 proof whiskey.

I'm starting to get the idea that you work for a water treatment plant where this stuff is being added because your defense of this poisoning is incomprehensible.
Yes, that's a claim people often make here when someone disagrees with them.
There is no fluoridation where I live.
Depends. But a lot of water supplies have natural fluoride in them. In fact, that's how the dental benefits of fluoride were discovered.
I mean, you've proven that it is essential - so humans were fragile boned creatures until sixty years ago?

Well for all practical purposes it does.
The more important problem is why the hell 51 percent of the people think they have the right to tell you you must drink poisoned water.
