Its a shame that weird chemicals are in literally everything we consume in this country. I hope America does the same. I mean, come on humans have been drinking natural water for thousands of years. Why do we need to put chemicals in it these days?
We have hundreds (literally) of chemicals in our water from industry and farming and golf courses.
Why are you concerned only about fluoride?
I'd be more worried about the cyanide, hormones, petrochemicals and aldehydes - known carcinogens.
Drinking Water Contaminants | Drinking Water Contaminants | US EPA Chemicals and Contaminants in Drinking Water EWG Tap Water Database 2009 The public has reason to be concerned. Between 2004 and 2009, water suppliers across the U.S. detected 316 contaminants in water supplied to the public. The list of detected contaminants includes:
•97 agricultural pollutants, including pesticides and chemicals from fertilizer- and manure-laden runoff;
•204 industrial chemicals from factory discharges and consumer products;
•86 contaminants linked to sprawl and urban areas or from polluted runoff and wastewater treatment plants;
•42 pollutants that are byproducts of the water treatment processes or that leach from pipes and storage tanks.

AHHH!! I don't want to think so! I hate chemicals. I'm looking at my Starbucks coffee now terrified of what is in it. lol.
There's different kinds of fluorides in nature. The fluoride in the municipal water supply is, supposedly, from industrial sources, not nature. My municipal water is fluoride-free and has been for a very long time, if it ever added it in the first place, and nobody has tooth problems here. I also grew up with well water, but I never drank from the faucet and always drank fluoride-free water. No dental problems here
Well, that should give General Turgidson some relief about the sanctity of his bodily fluids if he visits the holy land.
