From this article:
How to Reduce Fluoride Exposure and Toxicity
"Unlike natural calcium fluoride, synthetic fluorides lack calcium and act as calcium chelators, which means they bind strongly to calcium in certain tissues. “This binding disrupts various biological processes and contributes to toxicity,” Sauerheber said.
Sauerheber emphasizes that calcium plays a crucial role in minimizing fluoride assimilation and acts as an antidote to accidental acute fluoride poisoning by counterbalancing or neutralizing its toxic effects after ingestion."
"In addition to calcium, the toxicity of fluoride also depends on our iodine levels. Those with iodine deficiencies will experience more toxic effects from fluoride."
Milk is a rich source of both.
