Yes there are loads.
The consensus is that at 'appropriate levels', it's safe to drink. But there is no consensus that it actually helps prevent tooth decay.
In a high enough dose, flouride is toxic.
Continue drinking toxic chemicals to own the CHUDS though.
Do any of them recommend using fluoride free toothpaste?
There's naturally more fluoride in the water supply in plenty of countries than what's added here.
It's a non issue, although I wouldn't drink our tap water because of the calcium (28.2 mg/L), magnesium (16.6 mg/L) and chlorine (0.4mg/L) levels. Not because it's unhealthy, it just tastes bad.
No dental association thinks appropriate levels of fluoride are bad, and noone is removing fluoride in water supplies where it's naturally above the levels of state fluoridation.
The difference in cavies between Queensland and the other states here that adopted fluoridation had them change their minds after 30 years of evidence.
Although it really only impacts disadvantaged communities, so does that make fluoridation a "communist conspiracy"?
