Quotes
“The dose makes the poison”
“Caffeine is listed as a neurotoxin, as is Aspirin”
“You can’t say fluorosis, there are many levels of fluorosis, like how there are vast varying levels to having a fever”
“Over 70% of the fluorosis was due to the inappropriate use of fluoride containing tooth products, in particular, swallowing toothpaste”
“Educate the parents that their children should not be swallowing toothpaste”
“We used to say a pea sized amount of toothpaste containing fluoride, we not say a rice grain sized amount”
“Fluorosis is a cosmetic issue, it’s not a sign of anything systemically”
“The opponents to fluoridation and the opponents to vaccination are two peas in the same pod, in my opinion”
“All politics are local”
