    1. Raquel Williams to ground control. Commenting.
      What I learned from your blog (that altogether seems a bit queer, but not in a bad way) is that sodium fluoride could be so detrimental to my health. It would be terrible to die of Fatal Arrhythmias. It seems pretty fatal to me. But at least my teeth will be safe from cavities.
