Why is Fluoride a toxin?

All things are toxic at a sufficiently high dose or if the exposure is at a sufficiently high dose rate. Even water is toxic and people have died by drinking too much water too fast. At the normal exposures one gets to fluoride it is not toxic (and even significantly helps teeth resist tooth decay). However one exception to this is very young children should never be allowed to brush their teeth with a toothpaste containing fluoride as they tend to swallow the toothpaste instead of spitting it out and toothpaste tends to taste like candy so some very young children also eat it, there have been cases where such children have reached toxic doses of fluoride (especially in areas where the drinking water also contains fluoride either naturally or via artificial fluoridation).

How was flouride discovered?

First, it seems, people living in certain parts of the country experienced stronger teeth. The natural mineral fluoride was found in higher quantities in the ground. It was surmised that this contributed to their stronger teeth.Therefore, this research was manipulated and used with a different kind of flouride resulted as a toxic waste residue of the aluminum metal industry. Rather than pay large amounts for toxic waste removal and disposal, a way was found to make money off of this negative substance. Therefore, powerful wealthy industrialists moved for this toxic form of fluoride to be put into toothpaste and even our water.
