Everything is toxic at a certain conentration, but as far as i know PFAS is a million times more toxic than flouride.

According to the EPA safe level for flouride for drinking water is up to 4 mg/L. The epa level for PFOS is 0.000004 mg/L, literally a million times lower.

I thought the EPA was deregulating everything except flouride which it was going to deem a poison.
Fair point. We should probably have some way to refer to US gov’t funded scientific orgs & their research/recommendations before vs after the 2nd Trump Administration.
