Does the company realize that advertising this as leaving in "beneficial fluoride" [LOL] makes people run far, far away from buying this?

Most dentists would agree that fluoride is beneficial. Scientific studies differ depending on which study is used. If you don't use it and you have fluoride in your water you will be drinking it anyway. There are filters that will filter fluoride out of course. This one is primarily for taste, not for some of the really bad stuff one can get from some water.

Many people have a variety of opinions. Just as yours has value, so too do those who consider flouride a positive.

I don't know for sure but removal of fluoride is one of the reasons that I bought the product. I seriously doubt that fluoride would be transferred through the steam.

I noticed that they reduced the price from when I bought it, but even if you paid me, I would not put this on my body. It stinks, I think it's corrosive, and I think the ad was entirely misleading.

I would say it's more interesting that someone would take time out of their day to attack a company that is selling a product that people really seem to enjoy. Unless they were a competitor or enemy of the owner and trying to turn people off from their product. I am just stating the obvious - I will take neither side here.

I've seen that before. It's definitely not a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I went to their website once and it's completely blinged out. It looks ridiculous. Plus, it must be awful because they say they've been around for years yet it's nearly impossible to find any reviews.

No suggestions. I know some people don't want the fluoride. I personally, don't mind and have had it in my water since it was introduced. I believe my excellent dental condition was helped because if that. Sorry, I don't know that a filter can eliminate fluoride...

They had a special promotion, "selling" the item for $1 in hopes of good reviews. They remind recipients to review. They encourage only good reviews -- if you don't like it you are supposed to tell them, not put it on FB. I have done this for a number of products now. I think I can be objective even if the item is free, but I'm beginning to wonder if most reviewers can. I haven't tried this item yet, but I will review it fairly!This whole experience has taught me to be a little cautious about the trust I put in FB reviews.

Not sure on it working. What's suspicious is the company's avoidance of listing the ingredients. All we know is silica and that's it. It's counterpart Cell Food was reviewed by a better business type bureau and found one ingredient to be toxic when the co provided the list to them. So buyer beware. It could be dangerous especially if you are taking herbs or prescription meds...

I don't know. I did not find the product very effective. I was very turned off by the company's sneaky marketing tactics so I basically decided not to have anything else to do with the product.

Not according to the label. But I am not impressed with it promoting anything other than gas :)

BEWARE this company is buying 5 star reviews. You cannot trust whatever ingredients are even in this product. Here's an image of the company asking me to give them a positive review: http://imgur.com/Pj862tx

The product is poorly named, but it IS a detergent, NOT just washing soda (a booster). Anyone telling you otherwise is basically just judging a book by its cover. A quick look at the ingredients shows that it includes not only washing soda (which, by definition is a single chemical compound: sodium carbonate), but also other ingredients, including coconut-based cleansers (and this is also made VERY clear on the Nelly's site where they say "the detergent is..."). It's not going to do any harm to add it to another detergent as a booster, but if you only need washing soda, buy yourself some regular old Arm and Hammer washing soda and save your money.

I'm thinking the fluoride listed is calcium fluoride since that comes from the ground and is in mineral deposits quite often. If that's the case I wouldn't worry about it, but I'm not entirely sure. Calcium fluoride is a different substance than what you see in your toothpaste for instance, which if I recall is sodium fluoride. I hope that's the case. I just looked at the spec sheet and it's a very small amount anyway. Also there are trace amounts of calcium which should counteract fluoride if I remember my chemistry class. I think it's okay, but I'm no doctor.

Because California likes to slap warnings on just about everything. This teether is made from food grade silicone which is not a carcinogen. I have no idea how it would have come by the warning, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. Sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING causes cancer, and silicone is nowhere near the top of the list of my concerns. But hey, way to take a feature used to gain information about a product and turn it into a BS sanctimommy judgement. Kudos. Edit: maybe a better question would be WHY does this product have a prop 65 warning attached. That's actually a useful product question, and I'd be interested in the answer. :-p

Anyone who thinks any of this stuff suddenly stops working right at its sell by/expiration date is a conplete dumbass.I used to work for GNC and would keep the expired supplements for free that GNC couldnt sell. Ive kept pre workout supps for a year passed exp dates and the stuff works fine.All the supp companys put dates way too early so idiots who believe them will buy more too soon. Same goes for the serving sizes being way over recommended. The faster you use up a product, the faster youll need more.always start with half the recommended amounts. Especially if youre female, or less than 5'7" and 140lbs. Most supps servings sizes are made for monster body builders who use growth hormone and steroids.

It looks like they are getting this question a lot. I found this website http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/New-research-suggests-top-selling-brain-supplement-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin which looks pretty bogus, touting just what you are asking for. I have a feeling researching nutraingredients-usa would take you back to a web hosting company that the makers of FF paid to post this. Just my gut feeling, I'm not going to waste my time digging. Consumer's Report has a reputation for telling it like it is, mostly.

Pure greed. Or is it stupidity? If they would just be reasonable, and go back to making the replaceable battery version, think how many more they would sell. I won't buy one till they do.
