Does fluoride cause cancer?
I'm trying to choose the right toothpaste for my family, and there's so much information about fluoride. Some people say it's harmful. Does fluoride cause cancer, or is that scientifically disproven?

We have been using fluoride toothpaste for decades and generations in our family, and everyone is perfectly fine. Don't let these modern internet rumors scare you.
No, there is absolutely no strong scientific evidence linking fluoride in water or toothpaste to cancer. Major health organizations globally have debunked this theory multiple times.
I think lifestyle factors like stress, lack of exercise, and high salt are much bigger health risks than fluoride. Focus on regular health checkups instead of worrying about this.
When I asked my dentist at the hospital about these online rumors, he assured me it is completely safe in normal amounts. If you have concerns, ask your dentist clearly.
Haan na, people read online and get so scared for no reason. Fluoride is actually good for teeth and there is no cancer link, so we can use it safely.
