Yes i have heard that FLOURIDE dumbs people down,this thread is really quite good!!!! Im gonna have to try brushing with Salt.. BRUSHING WITH SEA SALT WOULD BE BETTER!! (Sea salt is a very good natural cleansing element) http://www.gomanzanillo.com/features/salt
Don't think brushing with salt is a good thing; read somewhere once that salt is very very abrasive!!!! not good for the enamel!! INSTEAD,,,,,,use baking soda; much gentler on the teeth and the alkalinity of it is good for the gums and may help placque...... SO DON'T BRUSH WITH SALT,,,,,ANY TYPE OF SALT!!!!!!!!!
