Truth is, Nicotine blocks fluoride in our brains, but use patches, not cigarettes. Fat, especially cholesterol protects our cells from damage. Statins removes cholesterol from each and every cell in our bodies. When blood vessels get damaged from, oh, let's say fluoride, cholesterol tries to patch the damage. Over time the cholesterol builds up, but, the original damage is the cause of the build-up. this picture show the damage fluoride does to our teeth, so imagine what it does to soft tissues. Natural sugar, as in fresh fruit, is actually good for us as well.
