Of course I refused, and he looked at me kind of funny.
Probably because fluoride is safe as long as you don't ingest it.
Yep. It does make sense not putting it into babies toothpastes since they often ingest it, but once you're old enough to understand how to brush and spit out fluoride in toothpastes should not be an issue anymore.
I find water fluoridation problematic, but not fluoride toothpaste. Or a fluoride varnish as long as you rinse it out right away. There are always pros and cons to everything, tooth decay and bad teeth/gums in general are associated with higher mortality and the enamel protective activity of flouride has been established long ago.

There's no evidence that flouride in toothpaste improves dental health.
There are so many peer reviewed that you surely must be jesting. Here's one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6398117
Be careful all you want, but your system is absorbing a certain amount of that, day in and day out.

I think dental hygiene is overhyped bigly or I have extremely tough teeth. I think more about food and drink choices honestly.
Very good point. If you eat crap all day long, brushing won't make up for that. Calcium is tremendously better over fluoride for dental health, it's not even close. But besides the now retired dentist who still sells calcium products, I have never been able to find a dentist who will treat with it. Likely because if they're found out, their career is over.
Yes, me and my wife personally use these products:

I eat when I'm hungry. During the week I'm up earlier, so two meals. Weekend, sometimes just one. I never intentionally fast, just get busy sometimes and don't care to stop.
Joe Rogan: “There’s a Direct Correlation” Between Fluoride in the Water and Low IQs ...
Before the Union County commissioners voted, the Leader of the Union County Chapter of Moms for Liberty, Abigal Prado, spoke before the commissioners and shared, “Millions of pregnant women are currently being exposed to levels of fluoride that have the potential to lower their children’s IQ by at least four to six points.”
Prado referenced a 2019 study published in JAMA Pediatrics that revealed: “Fluoride exposure during pregnancy may be associated with adverse effects on child intellectual development, indicating the possible need to reduce fluoride intake during pregnancy.”

I just eat one big ass
Amusing word choice.
Most diets are heavily acidic, and inflammatory. Perfect conditions for heartburn.
One thing that surprised me is that all canned foods are very acidic. The contents are acidified as a preservative and it does not need to be disclosed on the ingredient list.

Odd, it seems that all that salt would be sufficient. Even weal acids can slowly dissolve metal, so I guess you get that leached into the canned food as well.
The ph in your bloodstream is constant. If it changes, your going to die.
I still don't get what happened with the seizure.
I don't believe this nonsense about acidic or alkaline diets. Your stomach is filled with acid anyhow. Any alkaline material you ingest will be neutralized .
A new study suggests a link between greater fluoride intake in pregnancy and toddlers with behavioral problems.
Children in the womb exposed to higher levels of fluoride ... later were more likely to experience temper tantrums, headaches, stomachaches, anxiety and symptoms linked to autism, according to research published Monday in JAMA Network Open. ...
“This is the first US-based study to examine this association,” lead study author Ashley Malin, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Florida’s College of Public Health and Health Professions and College of Medicine, said in a statement.
“Our findings are noteworthy, given that the women in this study were exposed to pretty low levels of fluoride — levels that are typical of those living in fluoridated regions within North America,” she added.
Communities have been adding fluoride to their drinking water for decades to help prevent tooth decay.
Fluoride has been shown to strengthen enamel, inhibit the growth of bacteria and replenish lost minerals.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of 2020, more than 209 million people, or 72.7% of the US population, receive fluoridated water through public water systems.

Hopefully not an indicator of any nutritional deficiency. Only way to tell would be get some lab work done with a naturopath. Regular MD's aren't qualified to assess that.
Not if you're hit with the Andromeda Strain - then it could be a short-to -intermediate term lifesaver, as opposed to instant (curiously vax-like) clotting of the blood.
“There are no known benefits to the fetus from ingesting fluoride. And yet now we have several studies conducted in North America suggesting that there may be a pretty significant risk to the developing brain during that time.”

General Jack T. Ripper was right after all.
And what would be even funnier, I guess, is if it turned out to have actually been a communist plot.
