Original Note:
While fluoride can be toxic at very high levels, it is not considered toxic at the levels typically used in water fluoridation. The EPA and other health organizations consider the benefits of fluoride for dental health to outweigh the risks when properly managed. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/health/fluoride-controversy https://www.nature.com/articles/4812863 https://thelandingdentalspa.com/fluoride-and-its-benefits/ https://www.dentalhealth.org/fluoride https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/cdc-experts-say-fluoridated-water-is-safe-contrary-to-rfk-jr-s-warnings/ https://factcheck.afp.com/regulators-and-health-experts-refute-false-claim-about-toxic-fluoride-levels-tap-water-and https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/water-fluoridation-hasnt-been-associated-with-cognitive-health-problems-contrary-to-widespread-claims/ https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2019-03/documents/fluoride-risk-assess-factsheet.pdf
