While there has been no 'universal' conclusion on this, the British study referenced in all of these articles points to a very valid concern and probable cause for, at least, a segment of the population. I've (largely) eliminated my exposure to fluoride decades ago and trust the many sources I read both within and beyond the mainstream media.

No one can seem to prove without some doubt...and YOU can prove huh.
Jam,
There are numerous statements throughout these articles that raises huge red flags which is enough for preventative folks like you and I. Furthermore, we will rarely, if ever, get a full cautionary (or ban) on ANYTHING associated with corporate-generated toxins, big pharma, big agra, etc. It's up to us to decide what we need to avoid to protect our health.
Here's a couple of telling quotes from the 4th link.
"The connection between fluoridation and thyroid problems has not been widely studied, says Thiessen, who wasn’t involved in the paper. But the research that does exist shows that at a certain dose fluoride does indeed impair the activity of the thyroid gland, through an as-yet-unclear mechanism, she says."
"In fact, fluoride was used to treat hyperthyroidism (or an overactive thyroid) in the 1950s. It may put a damper on the gland’s activities by suppressing the activity of various enzymes, causing physical damage or interfering with the absorption and use of iodine, a substance that is critical for thyroid health, Thiessen says."

"Regarding the reduction in thyroid activity in patients with hyperthyroidism treated with fluoride, Galletti and Joyet concluded '...such an action appears only occasionally among persons subjected to massive doses of this substance', a situation clearly not comparable to community water fluoridation."
My daughter was diagnosed as having hyperthyroidism as a teenager. I refused for her to be treated then. We lived in an area which did not and has never fluroidated the water. Recently, at 33 years old after complete blood work, she was told that she has hyperthyroidism, and is immune compromised due to that. She has never lived in an area which put fluoride in the water. They told her it is genetic.
Her Dad has hypothyroidism. Genetic? Can a child inherit the exact opposite extreme? My daughter thinks it is from me. I seem to fit the "profile" more than her Dad. As a teen and young adult, I was never big on drinking NYC tap water. My Mom was adamant about drinking brown tap water from way back when.
I have never had complete blood work in my life. No complains as far as symptoms of either extreme. My complaint with fluoride is totally allergic skin related.
No matter what anyone says here, there is enough, too much, info for ME and many in my circle of friends/family to work to avoid fluoride consumption. I've worked too long and so many worked long and harder than me in this toxic added to our waters/foods.
L.M. I surely would NOT make a great poster child on cavity prevention..I was born and raised in it and my mouth sure didn't benefit as far as cavity prevention. The CDC, yikes...is all I can say.
I have not looked as this reject/remove list recently and not much activity in 2018 yet but some strides in 2017.
I read about an upcoming lawsuit against this industry but so far haven't seen anything lately on the status of it. I'm tuned in as I'm a member of a group that sends out all the latest updates on their works.
