A member asked:
Could it be right that fluoride in drinking water is bad for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concentration: It depends on the concentration. If you are referring to the added Fluoride in the municipal drinking water that measures in at about 1 ppm, the answer is no. Naturally occurring high Fluoride concentrations can cause fluorosis, among other issues.
