You don't understand the power of the ADA/flouride lobby.
Even just 20 years ago it was routine to have mercury (toxic heavy metal) placed in your mouth for fillings, evidence said the compounds were stable and no one would fund anything that rocks the boat in the US. They did that for children, but they didn't call it mercury, they called it silver fillings (50% by weight mercury).
Normally flouride has very limited uses prior to government mandates, and was so common that it was largely considered a waste by-product not worth selling.
I've yet to find an evidence based study or information on why government require flouride ingestion in any population center above 30,000 when studies have shown its just as effective topically. A study out of african really put the nail in the coffin on this one.
Side effects include lethargy, neurological damage, cognitive decline, hypertension, acne, seizures, and gastrointestinal issues.
It also damages your kids brains more than an adult brain (seemingly lowering IQ permanently), can't be filtered out except by specialized filters that cost a lot (and rapidly become less effective over time).
If they get too much which is very simple indeed, this can happen since its in everything (even bottled water and sodas, GRAS and no label needed under a certain concentration that's well above the toxic limits of new studies).
Nursery Purified bottled Water for infants is a primary source of business.

Makes you wonder what's really going on, and why they have to drug broad swaths of the population under the guise that it helps fight dental decay (through ingestion), when most of those studies have been debunked outside the US.
When cities don't have the funding, they magically get the funding for it. When local municipalities don't keep the levels up, they go after them heavy handed, and they disappear from public view.
