Fluorine in food and toothpastes is actually bodily harm. Fluorine is toxic and its effectiveness in connection with dental care has not been proven. Whether fluorine as it is found in water and toothpaste can lead to cancer and brain damage has not really been proven either, but the suspicion is there and the possibility certainly exists.
Hello pacast,
You've hit the nail on the head!
I also buy xylitol products and am absolutely delighted with them.
I find it sad that the fluoride myth is so persistent. All you have to do is use Google search and do a bit more in-depth research and many people's eyes would open...
Most doctors are not interested in the patient's health. Healing doesn't work by first destroying something and then cementing it shut... ... but by getting to the bottom of the cause and then changing your life.
I completely agree with you. We're not weird people, we just think outside the box ;)
Yes, healthy skepticism, as long as we are still healthy.
For anyone who would like some "shocking" information about fluorine and its effects, I can only recommend this clip. It's about 20 minutes long, raises a lot of questions and is in English.

Of course, it would be great if one or two people who want to help encourage society to think about things and spread this clip further. But in the end, everyone should decide for themselves what they want to do with the information.
Hello :)
Unfortunately, it is forgotten that there are people who have naturally healthy, strong teeth. They weaken the surface of their teeth with fluoride in toothpaste, as the fluoride makes them even harder and therefore brittle. (I am one of these people ;) )
Best regards :)
I don't understand why Migros is not following the trend towards more natural food, hygiene products, clothing, food, etc. as quickly as possible. The range is still very poor. Alnatura in honor... more is ALWAYS possible. In my opinion, this also includes the introduction of fluoride-free toothpastes, sustainable toothbrushes (organic), etc.
I will write a separate post on this in due course. But for now this:
Dear Migros,
with your size, your influence on agriculture, manufacturers at home and abroad and other important suppliers: Take your responsibility seriously and produce sustainably or have sustainable production. It is of no use to you if I look in vain for organic products in your stores that your competitors display on the shelves as a matter of course. You are missing out on an important trend... take it to heart NOW and have a positive impact on our farmers and therefore our environment.
I read about pesticides in the groundwater, a very high level of pollution, and I don't want that! I don't want conventionally bred poison apples! I want healthy nature with bee colonies that don't perish miserably because of glyphosate etc. I don't want to prepare poisoned food for our children.
I was and am (still) a loyal customer of yours. Since I switched to organic, I spend about twice as much money with you as before. And I certainly spend more than the average household does.
I hope I'm spending the money on something that really is "organic". But can I really be sure of that? Where do you show that you carry out independent checks?
It's a bit late to get involved in nature conservation. But better late than never.
... It would be a clear win-win situation.
Hello everyone
I have been using fluorine-free toothpaste for about 10 years and I can say that I have very healthy teeth and rarely have to go to the dental hygienist, which in turn saves me money. The secret is a toothpaste without fluorine, few abrasives and lots of aloe vera including mint herbs, which clean my teeth refreshingly, leave no scratch marks - but a smooth surface (where tartar could otherwise accumulate) and care for my gums. Simply great.
Hi everyone, thank you very much for your comments. We'll clarify with our tooth fairy how we're dealing with the issue at Migros and let you know what she thinks. Thank you for your patience and best regards, Milena
Hoi freudidoch, thank you for your comment. Fluorine (chemical abbreviation: F ) is a very reactive gas. Fluoride (which contains fluorine in solid form) is a salt and is found in aqueous solutions or in foods such as poultry, onions or fish. Active fluorine refers to forms of fluoride in pastes or mouthwashes that are present in an active form and are not bound. These fluorides can react immediately. In the past, bound fluorides were often added to toothpastes so that they were not bound by additives such as Ca or Mg. Once in the oral cavity, the bacteria present everywhere then ensure that the bound fluorides are also released and can react with the tooth. Of course, it is true that fluorine - or fluoride - can also be toxic, just like most other substances, including salt or NaCl. If you were to eat one or two tablespoons of salt at a time, you would not fare so well, or the experiment carried out by students in Germany: they drank six glasses of pure water in quick succession as a joke and died, because the large quantity had a poisonous effect on the body, so what Paracelsus said 500 years ago is correct: Dose facit venerum - or in German: The quantity makes a substance a poison (or an effective medicine!). This substance fluorine and fluorides have been researched in detail in many compositions over the last 100 years and we now know very precisely what quantities are harmful and what quantities are beneficial. Fluorine or fluoride is also a trace element. This means that humans need fluoride to live, without fluoride we, or any mammal, cannot live. The amount of fluoride that we humans consume today is periodically examined by various universities in different countries, as fluoride is now artificially added to drinking water in all cities in some large countries such as the USA and is added to salt in Europe. Sea salt also contains fluoride, but it is ineffective there due to the small amount. In Switzerland, for example, the amount of fluoride consumed by a large group of people is checked every 10 years. The amount has remained constant over the last 40 years or so. The amount in the blood and urine is checked. This means that science, legislators and the industry that produces food or cosmetics for patients know exactly what the optimum dose is. For this reason, there are also fluoride toothpastes for children and those for adults. The toothpastes for adults have twice the concentration (amount/weight) of fluoride compared to the children's toothpastes. So children and adults benefit from the right concentration of fluoride all over the world today. Caries has been reduced in all socialized countries by 80% in Switzerland compared to 1960, and today by 95% in school-age adolescents. If someone takes prophylaxis with fluorides and hygiene seriously, they can live their whole life without tooth decay. Kind regards, Milena

I can't believe what I'm reading here. I'm not sure if it's deliberate deception or if the chemical and medical knowledge isn't there. Fluorine is very toxic and is certainly not found in poultry, onions or fish, nor is it one of the essential trace elements that humans need to live! If animals have fluorine in them, they have been poisoned and the same applies to humans. Fluorine crosses the blood-brain barrier and has massively negative consequences for the brain. Fluorine does not belong in toothpaste, nor does it belong in salt. Unfortunately, salt and toothpaste with fluorine is cheaper than without. The effects of this neurotoxin have been known for a long time. The public is being deliberately misinformed. It is a disgrace for the human species that we are mutilating ourselves and deliberately hindering our mental development.

Too much citric acid is used in many foods and especially in drinks. And this is not at all good for the teeth...
The regeneration phase between each intake of acids is also very important.
The reason Migros argues in this way is probably because it offers a lot of products that are very hard on tooth enamel.

@Nina_22andalso every reader
Yes, there is too much citric acid in many foods and especially in drinks, but that is not the reason why Migros argues this way.
Ask yourselves the following questions: I'm sure everyone knows the JuraSel brand. 1 kg of JuraSel table salt with iodine and fluorine costs CHF 0.95.
500g of JuraSel table salt with iodine without fluorine costs CHF 0.85. Do you know the difference between table salt, table salt and table salt? These terms mean the same thing and are interchangeable, because in each case it is sodium chloride. Why should the same salt with fluorine be almost half the price? And what kind of logic is there in using salt in food to protect teeth? Why is Migros so concerned about our teeth? Isn't it everyone's responsibility to protect their own teeth?
Fluorine is toxic and has known, very specific side effects. It does not belong in salt, nor in toothpaste, nor in any other product for humans, young or old. PS: I am not a hobby author.
