YES! NONE in my water. I have my own water.
After 1945, they started putting it in toothpaste, which you can apply directly to teeth. No need to put the stuff in your stomach, intestines, and overtime, bones. It is easier for those who want fluoride to add it, than for those who don’t to take it out.
Regarding RFK Jr, he’s taking the Bircher position on this. Hardly leftwing on that issue.
It’s a mass medical experiment without the consent of people taking it.
For that reason alone it should be banned. If enough people want fluoride in their water the free market will provide it.
Forcing it on an entire population is wrong.
Period.

It has been known for years that not all fluoride molecules are safe. A good comparison is mercury, which in its purely metallic form is pretty harmless, but becomes very dangerous when it forms molecules with many other elements.
For some years, fluoride used in water was of a fairly benign form, but it was moderately expensive. Then a different form, a byproduct of aluminum smelting was found, and it was dirt cheap. And that is where many of the problems arose.
That is, fluoride =/= fluoride. But expecting a reporter, who calls himself a “journalist” to be at least passingly familiar with chemistry, seems to be a bridge too far.

Any Conservative who reads that passage, doesn't see its similarity to 'climate' science BS - let alone the jabs - and fails to dismiss such statements should have their head examined.
The other should be embarrassed for failing to mention fluoride toothpaste become widespread around 1975. And for not mentioned sealants and other coatings in use since the 1980s. The statistics showing a significant benefit to fluoridated water are all ancient and long predate these advances.
Pathetic what lemmings the associations of dentists are.
If you think taking fluoride internally is good for you then good for you. Take some.
What does that have to do with you forcing me to take fluoride internally? Take that junk and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
I never even thought about fluoride my entire life, until we moved to KY and had municipal water for the first time. I was diagnosed recently with hypothyroidism. One contributing factor is iodine: inhibiting its uptake. Come to find out fluoride does just that. Added to a prescription I’m taking for something unrelated, and it seemed reasonable to become concerned. We had a reverse-osmosis system installed to remove it. I’ll be interested to see what future tests for hormone levels reveal.
Natural Fluoride = Calcium fluoride (CaF2) - Not water soluble and I could not find the word "POISON" associated with it at MSDS.
Industrial Waste Fluoride = Fluorosilicic acid- (ala Sodium Fluoride, which is water soluble and that is what we drink. And it IS listed as a "POISON" at MSDS.
Addition of fluoride in a rinse? Good. Drinking it every day, really bad.
There is no substance “fluoride”. There are compounds consisting of another element and fluorine, and they are called fluorides. Such as sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride.
These two dissolve in water. Sodium fluoride is chemically stable. It doesn’t break down. So it accumulates (my opinion). I would like to know if it’s accumulating in the waterways and oceans and what the effect of that is.
I remember reading an article about European countries. Some fluoridated water, some didn't. Tooth decay drops were the same in all the countries.
Now let's see an article about the dozen other chemicals added to water to prevent the fluoride from destroying water pipes.
