Except that...

The effect of this inadvertent toxic food additive on Roman history, however, is only speculative.

The fact that fluorine has been used as a rat poison is totally irrelevant. Many things we consume daily will kill you if taken in large enough doses. This includes ALMOST EVERY DRUG YOU HAVE EVER TAKEN.

It also includes...

Oxygen - 20% of the air we breathe is oxygen
Nitrogen - 80% of the air we breathe is nitrogen
Every trace element that is in the air we breathe

Water - Drink enough of it quickly enough and it will kill you
Coffee
Nearly every vitamin you can buy
Fermented fruit
