    Very interesting! You've given me something to think about. I like how you mention the "dose makes the poison". Just today I talkd with a cousin who's a dentist. I admited to her that for a while now I've been terrified of fluoride toothpaste. She explained that the difference is in the dose- and the dose in toothpaste is not toxic- on the contary, it helps restore enamel. (And xylitol will also help restore enamel)

    Hi Marli, exactly! Glad my article helped clarify what's safe vs. what's not. Feel free to share if you think it may help your friends/family too.

    Whenever I hear someone say something is good b/c it is natural, I answer "So is arsenic." Being from nature doesn't always mean good for you. Love your points.
