Water has fluoride in it naturally, same as many foods do. Water from an underground source has the highest concentrations of naturally occurring fluoride. Heck, seawater has like 1.3ppm of fluoride in it, and it’s certainly not from the government dumping it in the ocean. This is more likely about them not having to remove the existing fluoride, which saves them money, as it is about adding additional fluoride.

Wrong type of fluoride defcon. There's two types. What you're talking about is Calcium fluoride. Calcium Fluoride occurs naturally in the ground, and subsequently ground water, even sea water. While high level exposure can cause skeletal and dental fluorosis, it's not the monster that those of us avoid like the plague. That honor is left to sodium fluoride. This is what is added to the water supply, as well as your toothpaste. This fluoride is not naturally occurring. It is a synthetic waste product of the nuclear, aluminum and phosphate fertilizer industries. As a bonus, it comes pre-contaminated with lead, aluminum, and cadmium. It damages the liver and kidneys, and is a vehicle to carry aluminum from the blood to the brain. Combine that with your aluminum-rich stick of antiperspirant, and you have a recipe for disaster. Sodium fluoride also calcifies the pineal gland, interfering with melatonin production, subsequently interfering with sleep processes and causing thyroid issues that affect the entire endocrine system.
In short, it's not put in the water because it's good for you, it's put in the water because it's a convenient place to put this toxic waste.
