I mean fluoride is one of the most interactive elements on the periodic table. It’s pretty clear it interacts with the body in pathogenic ways. That’s part of the reason why it bonds to the enamel of the teeth so well.

I don’t think we need to supplement tapwater with fluoride now that toothbrushes and toothpaste are so widely available.

You can’t control the dosage since people can drink as much tapwater as they want and still do not know how much they actually are receiving.

That being said I highly recommend everybody get a reverse osmosis water filter. Add in some electrolytes and you’re good to go.

Edit: Never mind, I was wrong. Fluoride isn't an element. It's somewhat reactive, but not nearly as much as Fluorine.
