the regular flouride is very harmful and toxic, and so is the calcium carbonate wich is just ground up sea shells wich can mar your tooth enamal
calcium flouride is safe let me re-state, yet it is very difficult to find a toothpaste fortified with this instead
-
Sodium flouride is safe in moderate levels (i.e. toothpaste). Are you really that worried about it?

how's the dumbbell squats going dude?
i read in another thread that you can handle 100 pounds in each hand for reps, that's damn impressive ma man

Sodium flouride is safe in moderate levels (i.e. toothpaste). Are you reall that worried about it?
Let's take your average whitening toothpaste. It contains peroxides, abrasive agents such as alumina and silica, detergents such as sodium lauryl sulphate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (which was used in the first really successful hairspray in the 1950's), triclosan and other sodium-based chemicals.
Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium cetyl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate are present in most toothpastes for their detergent and foam-generating properties. Not only are these toxic chemicals known to be irritating to the skin, they are actually used for just that purpose in laboratory experiments!
As the focus of manufacturers is always on marketability, they often try to disguise these synthetic and toxic ingredients by making them seem 'natural'. Labels will often state something like, "sodium lauryl sulfate - derived from coconut."
Regardless of derivation, these man-made detergents pass through the skin and mucous membranes and bio-accumulate in fatty tissue to levels that can cause cellular malfunction and disease. And toothpaste is especially important because the mucous membranes in your mouth are very permeable. So, if you expose yourself to toxic toothpaste several times a day, you subject yourself to a lot of toxins.
Take triclosan. A common anti-bacterial compound, it is extremely popular because of its broad-spectrum bacteria-fighting ability. The whistle on its potential health impact was first blown by Professor Peter Vikesland of Virginia Tech. A study that he conducted showed that it reacts with the chlorine in tap water.
Guess what eventuates. Chloroform – which carries 'potential carcinogen' classification from the Environmental Protection Agency. So, every time you brush your teeth and you rinse it out with tap water, you are getting a little chemical reaction going on in your mouth.
Some toothpaste also contains formaldehyde, usually in the form of preservative, and many add artificial colours, flavours and sweeteners. And then there's fluoride - another popular toothpaste ingredient.
The fluoride story began decades ago. As long ago as 1961 it was exposed as a lethal poison in the US water supply. Yet it's still put into toothpaste and marketed as 'the way to keep your teeth strong and healthy'.
Those who support its use say that fluoride occurs naturally and helps develop and maintain strong bones and teeth. Opponents to the use of fluoride say that when fluoridated water is consumed, toxic levels of fluorine, the poisonous substance of fluoride, builds up in the body and causes severe harm to bone tissue and to teeth.
The reason for the controversy is that there are two different types of fluoride. The naturally occurring form, calcium fluoride, is not toxic. But, and here is the important point, you will not find calcium fluoride in your toothpaste. You will find sodium fluoride. And sodium fluoride is an acute toxin - with a rating slightly higher than that of lead.

how's the dumbbell squats going dude?
i read in another thread that you can handle 100 pounds in each hand for reps, that's damn impressive ma man
im going to us my saw zaw to cut up a barbell i dont use into an enlongated dumbell so i can make the weight even heavier
im only doing one set , i could do more, but i just dont see the point
i stopped doing barbell squats because of spine compression, but dumbell squats strengthing from traps , lats, and down the middle back in a more natural way. the trap work from the dumbell squats alleviates compression on lower spine for me forcing the traps to do ALOT of work
-
this is one of those issues like the heme-iron issue
im here dickslapping everyone in the face with the knowledge yet people either dont care, or the ones who read dont even care for a solution

that's cool man, i do the exact same thing
1 or maybe 2 sets of dumbbell full squats with a plate under each heel to keep my form proper
at the moment i use a 60 pound bell in each hand
yep, i'm just a weak punkass

how many reps with the 60 pound dumbell? it took a few weeks to get past 8-10 reps in one set, i usually gas around 8 then continue to hold the weight then bang out a few more
look man u need to get that celtic sea salt. i didnt realize it had calcium flouride looks ill be brushing with celtic sea salt in warm water from now one to get that good ole calcium flouride coating on my teeth
check this out
FLUORIDE has a direct effect on the calcium and phosphate metabolism and in small amounts may reduce osteoporosis. Trace amounts of fluoride, as found in natural sea salt is calcium fluoride. Sodium fluoride is the type of fluoride added to some water supplies, many toothpastes and is used as rat poison and as a pesticide and is made from toxic industrial waste. Calcium fluoride produces stronger tooth enamel that is more resistant to bacterial degradation. However, an increased intake through fluoridated drinking water can potentially overload the human system.

right now i can get 15 reps and i go ATG all the way down till the bells are touching the floor
i now have enough weights to load up each bell with 125 pounds, but i don't think that i'll be doing 15-20 reps with 125 pound bells anytime soon LOL
i appreciate your diet wisdom, but my firm belief is that GENETICS is the TRUMP CARD, and that diet don't make much of a difference
my great-grandmother lived to be 97 eating ice creams, fried chicken and smoking a pack of cigs a day, and she lived at home on her own til the day she died
my grand-dad is 93 smokes a pack a day (at least) drinks jack most every day and has a horrible "diet" of fired eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. and he is at home on his own going strong

I understand that it can be built up within the body, but in small doses added to toothpaste and some municiple drinking water sources, aids in strengthening enamel, and in slightly higher doses is also used to treat osteoporosis.
Calcium Fluoride on the otherhand, while nearly non-toxic, is also insoluble. This insolubility makes it non-toxic unlike its fellow fluorides. Calcium fluoride in sufficient levels can cause skeletal or dental fluorosis, which weakens bone and dentition as well.
If you are really concerned by fluoride poisoning, "all natural" believers think that they can detoxify themselves of stores of it by ingesting various items.

Your mouth will thank you.
I go to the dentist and they can't figure out how I have never had a cavity, and my teeth are hard like stone.

If you are worried about fluoride damaging your brain, fact is its already damaged hence the worrying.
Also membership of this forum validates the damaged brain diagnosis.

Don't brush your teeth if you are going Keto johnny. Too many carbs. I'd recommend staying away from flavored flosses as well.

What about mixing hydrogen peroxide, glycerin and non aluminum baking soda for a tooth paste I think is the best, most effective, natural and cheapest way

Johnny Falcon, I had a feeling this was related to heme iron somehow.

Look into Tea Tree oil toothpaste...Really good for the gums.
