I use fluoride tooth paste every day. I wouldn't put sodium in my mouth...

You put sodium in your mouth every day. It's in salt!

Fluoride in toothpaste is toxic. You have to spit it out, not swallow it. The small quantities used are fine, but if ingested a significant amount, you'd get a "not fun" trip to hospital.

Sodium in a sodium cooled reactor is not in salt form.
I don't recommend continuing the thread. The parent commenter isn't talking about the science and closer to strawman/whatabout-isms.
