Where might I find toothpaste that has no fluoride? Many European brands don't have any. I appreciate all of the help that you can offer me.

Thanks in advance.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know most Korean toothpastes don't contain fluoride.

online? Almost all Korean brands have it in the toothpaste.

But why bother? Fluoride FTW... never had a cavity on my shiny whites in my entire life.

The whole cancer scare is BS. They proved water can cause cancer too, do you believe that?

6,000,000,000 people in the world, you're going to find one who is sensitive to something.

OP, dip your toothbrush in baking soda. I understand it doesn't taste particularly good, but it keeps your teeth white and it's got no fluoride, plus it's cheap. If you're not using fluoride toothpaste, you might as well not use toothpaste.

This. It would be nice if they had to label it on the package, then we would know for sure.

Also, fluoride turns some people's teeth brown, so it's a valid question from the OP.

Most Korean toothpaste has fluoride. However, the level of fluoride is about 1/5th as much as North American toothpaste. I heard that Japan tried fluoridation of their toothpaste years back and they found all sorts of problems (like teeth turning brown) so Korean companies decided to put much smaller quantities in.

Thanks for all of the advice. I saw a Japanese brand of toothpast at the black market shop. Maybe I'll give that a try.

Personally, I think fluoride is very unhealthy. You might want to Google it and see both sides of the arguement for yourself.

It is in the drinking water in north america for crying out loud.

I have never seen a single person who can attribute any illness/deformity/cancer/whatever to Fluoride. Interwebs be damned.

Things such as sodium fluoridation of water, GMO Food, and vaccinations are "slow kill" techniques, so the victim will not show signs of the effects until decades later, which is why most of the population will not believe it b/c there are not immediate effects and the controlled mainstream media will not reveal it. Overall, these "slow kill" techniques are used in combination with Abortion Clinics, Wars, Debt Monetary System(Fractional Banking), etc depopulate the globe over an extended period of time.

Some may ask, "Why would they want to kill off the population that is supporting them?". Well, they don't want anyone else or country to challenge their power and don't need 7 Billion of us to support them.

You and AsiaESLbound should go to the tinfoil sale together.

You're going to die in a "couple of decades" one way or the other... Why not at least have decent teeth while you're waiting out the end? Rolling Eyes

You really should educate yourself, samd. Then again, you are exactly the kind a person who will fall prey to these population reduction methods. I don't wish that upon you, but ridiculing other people perpetuates the suffering. By now most intuitive people are aware of what's going on.

Nice post halfjapanese!

Homeplus sells this all natural herbapeutic nighttime toothpaste called Dentiste' Plus White made by Instituto 1912. No fluoride. Very nice.
