It really won't cause you any harm at the dosages in our water supply.. However, it didn't mention any studies done that looked at its effects on the brain, which was a little suspicious.
The word topical is derived from the Ancient Greek topos (plural: topoi), meaning "place" or "location".

While I respect your idea of quoting science that's over 40 years old, didn't Doctors say that smoking was just fine for your health in the 60's as well?

You can get a gallon of distilled water for less than a dollar. Drink that if you're so concerned.

It is know that such vital organs as the kidneys, thyroid, aorta, liver, lungs and others can be sites of an unusually high fluoride build-up. No matter how small the amount of fluoride in the diet, a part of it tends to accumulate in the body.
The kidneys are responsible for ridding the body of ingested fluoride, and thereby preventing the buildup of toxic levels of fluoride in the body.
In healthy adults, the kidneys are able to excrete approximately 50% of an ingested dose of fluoride.
However, in adults with kidney disease the kidneys may excrete as little as 10 to 20% of an ingested dose - thus increasing the body burden of fluoride and increasing an individual's susceptibility to fluoride poisoning (e.g. renal osteodystrophy).
