Right, but the fluoride in the water is toxic waste from the nuclear, phosphate and aluminum industries. It is not a pure chemical.
Do you have a source that shows where the nuclear, phosphate and aluminum industries are supplying the water distribution system with it's fluoride?
Most fluoride additives used in the United States are produced from phosphorite rock. Phosphorite is used primarily in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer. Phosphorite contains calcium phosphate mixed with limestone (calcium carbonates) minerals and apatite—a mineral with high phosphate and fluoride content. It is refluxed (heated) with sulfuric acid to produce a phosphoric acid-gypsum (calcium sulfate-CaSO4) slurry.
The heating process releases hydrogen fluoride (HF) and silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) gases which are captured by vacuum evaporators. These gases are then condensed to a water-based solution of 23% FSA with the remainder as water.
Approximately 95% of FSA used for water fluoridation comes from this process. The remaining 5% of FSA is generated during the manufacture of hydrogen fluoride or from the use of hydrogen fluoride in the manufacturing of solar panels and electronics.

Why claim the nuclear industry is at fault then if its from the phosphate industry? Sounds like you know your stuff but a source would be great, otherwise it's just another unsubstantiated claim.

This is not some subtle point. Fluoride in excess is commonly known to be extremely toxic.

Small animals are not humans. We learn things like this when, for instance, Thalidomide was put on the market after being tested on guinea pigs. It was safe for them. Humans and rats actually have a number of differences. For one thing, rats can't talk or write, which makes any IQ testing a problem unless it makes them grossly mentally retarded. Rats have superior abilities of regeneration, so if you sever a rat's intestine and sew the abdominal incision back up, the ends of the intestine will "find" each other and spontaneously anastomose (grow back together). Not so with humans. Some parallels can be drawn, but only some.

Sorry the fda disagrees.
Why would they tell you that vitamins are bad, and only a chemical can help your body?

How about ALL of the FACTS I posted in my original post. Debunk them ALL if you're right and we're just crazies
Using about.com as a source, I can easily make as many daft claims as you have in the OP.
Here's a link from about.com showing that Aliens are visiting earth, using an obvious appeal to authority.

Sulfur hexafluoride is inert. Not everything containing fluoride is toxic, but sulfur hexafluoride can not give up free fluorine in the body. Teflon, and the fluoride in water, and a blood substitute called Fluosol DA can and do. Learn something about chemistry before trying to lead people astray by writing about things you know nothing about.
