I saw this article and had to check it out since i'm not a fan of Fluoride. I was hoping to see some good news that removing fluoride had no negative impact on people's health but I was over enthusiastic when I started reading this clearly biases article in favor of Fluoride.
Let me just say this first, your body does need some naturally occurring fluoride like calcium fluoride to stay healthy but the crap they are putting in toothpaste and tap water is not natural. The crap they put in the water is sodium fluoride or Hydrofluoric acid they are not natural and byproducts of creating fertilizers.
Despite what dentists keep telling us about the protective effects of fluoride on people's teeth, virulent myths insisting otherwise somehow manage to persist.
These kinds of mistaken beliefs might be false, but their consequences are very real. Like when, in 2007, the people of Juneau, the capital of Alaska, voted to stop putting fluoride in their drinking water, over concerns about what harms it might be doing to them.
"By taking the fluoride out of the water supply… the trade-off for that is children are going to experience one additional caries procedure per year, at a ballpark (cost) of US$300 more per child," Meyer explained to KTOO News.
All this study say is that it provides benefit to people's teeth. What about people's overall health is it good for you overall?
Sodium Fluoride started out as a rat and insect killer. They were killing rats with this stuff 100 years ago. So it's pretty good at killing small creatures. What else is it good at killing? Hint: It's in your gut.
Does Fluoride Cause Cancer?
The debate about water fluoridation stems from a 1991 analysis by the U.S. National Toxicology Program. The study found evidence that male rats given water with a high fluoride content for two years had an increased risk for a type of bone tumor called osteosarcoma. The association wasn’t seen in female rats, or in male or female mice.
A 2006 national case control study published by scientists at Harvard University found that boys exposed to fluoridated water had an elevated risk of developing osteosarcoma during their teenage years. This association wasn’t seen in girls. One theory is that fluoride may collect in the growing parts of bones (growth plates). This is also where osteosarcoma tends to develop during a growth spurt.

If this study looked at overall health it might of found that people's overall health improved like less diagnosis's of bone cancer in the city. A good study would of looked at a person's overall health not just the teeth. Look at what the people are concerned with like lower IQ or increased cancer risks.
My personal experience removing Fluoride
A few years ago I was suffering from major gut problems I'm sure if I went to a doctor for them the doctor would of said I have IBS or a gluten intolerance because I would have these crap attacks after eating most of time and they would be quite painful with cramping and bloating going on.
One day I decided to buy a water filter to filter out the fluoride and all the other bad stuff in our water. I did this to try and fix another problem I had which was eczema on my skin. I also bought some apple cider vinegar at the same time. I started filtering my water and taking the apple cider vinegar at the same time.
My eczema started clearing up in about a month and was 90% gone after 2 or 3 months. I also unexpectedly noticed my gut was feeling really good as well. The IBS symptoms and crap attacks were gone after 3 months too.
Eczema and IBS problems are still gone as of this day.
I believe the fluoride, chlorine and other stuff in the tap water was killing off my gut bacteria and making me sick. So eliminating that and putting good bacteria back into my system with the apple cider vinegar is what I think cleared up my eczema and fixed my gut problems.
If sodium fluoride is so good at killing insects and smaller critters it makes sense to me that it was killing my gut bacteria too.
That's basically my experience with eliminating fluoride from my drinking water. I might have an increased chance at getting cavities but I'll just brush my teeth more. Brush teeth more vs sitting on the toilet more after every meal is a good trade off.
