I don't know if I can really believe that flouride is making the population dumber. Dentist's swear by flouride. It's supposed to stop decay. It is in the toothpaste, listerine, just about everthing that keep your teeth healthy. Now how could it be so bad, if it's doing you're body good. I'd pick being a little dumber and having fresh teeth, over being smart and having #ty teeth. Since flouride stop's decay, why not believe that flouride is doing the environment good rather than bad.

You seem to only be making reference to toothpaste and the like. Many cities in North America put fluoride in their water which I find much more worrisome.

Because of a glitch in the law,3 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) never safety-tested fluoride for ingestion.1 Yet, the FDA recently OK'd cavity-preventing claims on fluoridated bottled water labels,2 giving Americans a false sense of security about the safety and effectiveness of drinking bottled water with fluoride added..
Boys who drink water with levels of fluoride considered safe by federal guidelines are five times more likely to have a rare bone cancer than boys who drink unfluoridated water, according to a study by Harvard University scientists published in a peer-reviewed journal.
