Not a problem: Fluoride levels in us drinking water are at a very safe level. There are no studies showing a correlation of any problem or disease associated with the usage of safe levels of Fluoride in people regardless of age. Remember even water can be deadly toxin and can, drunk in enough quantity, kill anyone.

It's not: Fluoride is not a deadly toxin. It is an element that occurs naturally in the earth's crust and natural ground water. Humans and animals have consumed Fluoride since the beginning of time. In very small doses, Fluoride has been proven to prevent tooth decay.

It is safe: Like many things (vitamin c, iron, oxygen, water), Fluoride in the correct small quanitiy is safe. It is only toxic when systemic exsposure is much higher then the recommended amount. At the correct amount Fluoride makes your tooth enamel more acid resistant and lowers tooth decay. That is why small amounts are in drinking water. In reality you need a lot over a long time to have any problems.
