fluoride stable in your toothpaste for longer.
More fluoride in the tap water meant more fluoride in the blood.
Take stannous fluoride , for example.
Take Stannous fluoride for example.
We've got hydrogen fluoride , hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide.
Because of arsenic and fluoride and all of those pharmaceutical drugs that people dump into the water system, pathogenic bacteria and PCBs
It will say fluoride on the package.
And picked because the fluoride -- fluorine doesn't absorb neutrons.
the liquid fluoride thorium salts are very caustic and would just eat through the piping or whatever.
So the US started adding inorganic fluorides like sodium fluoride to the public water supply.
technology to keep the bacteria-fighting stannous fluoride stable in your toothpaste for longer.
How about water that contains chlorine or fluoride , or how about heavy metals like mercury and fish, or cadmium in shellfish?
And so we launched a fluoride -free toothpaste.
And the salt was a fluoride -- fluorides of lithium, or beryllium, and so on-- picked because they have low atomic numbers.
But they used molten salt liquid fluoride , which is the substance that Secretary Chu was talking about.
I don't know how to synthesize sodium fluoride , but what does that tell us?
that was January 2011-- and "American Scientist," "Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors," July 2010.
There is a growing community of people who believe that there shouldn't be fluoride in their toothpaste.
Keep your hand up only if you know how to synthesize sodium fluoride , if you know how to synthesize sodium fluoride .
- In 1975, researchers wanted to know if that inorganic fluoride was getting into people's blood.
That's why Colgate Total developed a unique stabilization technology to keep the bacteria fighting Stannous fluoride stable in your toothpaste for longer.
We filter our water to remove the chlorine and fluoride .
You have to filter your water, remove chlorine and fluoride .
The day that our book was released, I got an angry email from somebody about fluoride .
Or for example, our first SKU of toothpaste is fluoride free.
And then perhaps parallel to that, you see people questioning whether we should put fluoride in the water.
Dr. Hargraves has written articles and made presentations about the Liquid Fluoride Thorine Reactor-- or LFTR, as we affectionately call it--
And they did research, and they found that 3M was making these organic fluorides , things like PFOA.
Take stannous fluoride for example.
And so you have all the burning chunks-- arsenic combining with the phosphorus and making all these compounds that are arsenic-something-something oxide, arsenic fluoride , and things that.
But the technical reasons have to do with, principally, the molten fluoride salt.
So if you use thorium in the right kind of reactors, which I'm going to describe in a minute, they're called liquid fluoride thorium reactors, not only do they produce much, much
I've had people argue against that, but the fact is, the way to solve the nuclear waste problem is to build liquid fluoride thorium reactors, which are known as LFTRs.
sort of, I often joke that they sort of put it in the water, like fluoride around here, this kind of optimism about what technology can do.
Well, it was Crest with fluoride , right?
The fuel, again, is, again, fluorides of lithium and beryllium.
