>>20436558Caffeine is like ten million times worse for you than Fluoride, which gives you an idea of how powerful science is at figuring out where a damage is coming from.
I forget the name of it, but it's a unit of measure like the meter or gram and it functions as a: "Life Equivalent Unit" which you can use to measure damage so you can get a mathematically correct way to say: "Which is worse for you, eating 5 nanograms of atomized plutonium? or a thousandths of milliliter of liquified cesium from a nuke fallout as gas? Of course we all know you're going to be having a very bad week on both, but exactly how much?
Now you've all got me searching for the word. It's a science word that is a "unit of damage", and it really didn't take off into natural parlance, because of the complexity on edge cases, that some people are naturally immune to a poison that other people are sensitive to, and so the unit of measure also has to take into account secondary and tertiary defenses of the body, which means it's an: "all else being equal, average human".
Point is, that Flouride is about as bad for you as breathing air, which is also somewhat poisonous, since it contains like 19% highly volatile gas: Oxygen. Your body is able to process it, but only because it has machines to do so. it melts metal, so it does the same to you. Your body just repairs faster than it dies.
