You aren’t reading the articles I cited.

In EVERY water supply there is F. Fluorosis is even why the whole thing about fluoride started, apparently. People with ugly mottled teeth were YET found to have cavity-free teeth that were very strong. (Hence, if it’s mostly a cosmetic issue, I’d hardly say fluorosis is a good reason to get rid of F.)

It was found that the people with stained BUT STRONG teeth had MUCHO F in the water. The doctors tried to figure out if there was a way to get the benefits (fewer cavities) of F without the costs (staining). The recommended level of fluoridation was discovered, and that is what it is. It is not at all high - if it were, lots of fluorosis would result.

Again - the F is already in the water! And in some places, it’s naturally higher than the recommended! I don’t think that killed anyone in those regions. Did TX have a higher death rate from “disease” (as varied cause as that might be) than NY before anyone knew this?

This whole approach is naive. Lead is also naturally in many water systems, that doesn't mean it's safe to add lead.

Further we're not talking about something where you take a gulp and keel over dead we're talking about something which over time is going to build up levels of a substance not needed in any biochemical reaction in the body which interferes with other chemical reactions. That weakens parts of the body eventually resulting in an illness or death attributed to the failure of that organ not to fluoride.
