I'm previously aware that fluorine is a constituent of fluoxetine (Prozac). I don't think that makes it particularly dangerous. The end effect of serotonin anti-depressants is a suppression of hippocampal atrophy and the growth of new brain cells.

Are you aware that potassium chloride is used in application of the death penalty in some states? A big whollop of it will stop your heart. The RDA on potassium is 5 g per day. It's why dairy is such a big part of the food pyramid, it's the only cheap, easy, don't-have-to-think-about-it way for Americans to get plenty of potassium. ( Don't go hog wild on low sodium V8 juice) And chloride. Heck that's in table salt! Sodium chloride. And the sodium-free table salts for those who are sensitive to sodium? Potassium chloride!

Are they trying to kill us? No. Is it easy for those with a LITTLE chemistry knowledge to make WRONG conclusions? Easy peasy, absolutely.

An ion often has VERY different behavior compared to its neutral charged equivalent.
