The benefits of fluoridation were amazing. I didn't have a single cavity until I was 25 and had moved away from that area to a non-fluoridated area.

Even if that is true, there's no reason to bathe in it, cook with it, water our lawns with it.

And now it's becoming clear that IQ is affected by fluroride https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3409983/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5285601/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/epa-must-address-fluoridate...

So how about we keep it out of our drinking water. If you want to put fluoride on your teeth, use fluoridated toothpaste.

Don't you clean your teeth with a fluoridated toothpaste? That should be plenty good enough, no need to put it in the drinking water.
