Original Note:

But the court didn't explicitly say that fluoride is harmful or that it causes brain damage or cancer. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/epa-fluoride-drinking-water-federal-court-ruling/ ADA: https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/community-water-fluoridation-at-optimal-levels-is-safe-and-effective https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/ada-in-support-of-community-water-fluoridation https://apnews.com/article/fluoride-water-brain-neurology-iq-0a671d2de3b386947e2bd5a661f437a5 Cancer: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/chemicals/water-fluoridation-and-cancer-risk.html https://ilikemyteeth.org/debate-fluoridation/does-fluoride-cause-cancer/ https://www.cancercenter.com/risk-factors/fluoride Thyroid: https://jech.bmj.com/content/71/10/1019
