Here is a list of elements in the human body:
Composition of the human body:
Aluminum and Fluorine are listed.
Fluourine
"Because of the difficulty in making elemental fluorine, the vast majority of commercial fluorine is never reduced to the element. Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of any element but chlorine and is an extremely strong oxidizing agent. Fluorine forms stable compounds, fluorides, with all elements except helium and neon. Hydrofluoric acid, in contrast to hydrochloric acid, is only a weak acid, but it is nonetheless extremely corrosive. Fluorides of lighter metal elements are ionic compounds (salts). Heavier metal elements such as uranium form volatile coordination compounds (molecules with several fluorine atoms surrounding a metal atom)."

Don't be misleading----that listing was Islamic medicine and I doubt they think fluoride is good for anyone. I'd think Islamic countries don't fluorinate people.
Islam appears to be totally against the fluoride insanity for religion reasons:
www.friendsoffreedom.org...
He said: "Many Muslims abroad and in the UK are against the fluoridation of water for Islamic reasons, for health and medical reasons and for Human rights reasons."
They also like things with Boron------and Boron was a big deal in the Holy Lands. Boron shows up in Islamic Medicine.
You likely picked up a US analysis of people exposed to poison fluoride for 60 years of fluoride insanity.
Islam is against water poisoners.

Two recent papers, whose authors include members of Health Canada's expert panel, clearly show no dental health benefit from ingested fluoride. In particular, the single study that has examined caries experience in relation to individual fluoride intakes at various ages during childhood (the Iowa study) has found no association between fluoride intake and caries experience; caries rates (% of children with or without caries) at ages 5 and 9 were similar for all levels of fluoride intake (Warren et al. 2009). The authors state that “the benefits of fluoride are mostly topical” and that their “findings suggest that achieving a caries-free status may have relatively little to do with fluoride intake” (emphasis in the original). Most of the children with caries had "relatively few decayed or filled surfaces" (Warren et al. 2009).

Did you even read this its talking about medical procedures. Apparently you are not aware streams lakes and most underground water supplies contain fluoride. As for fluoride being dangerous it occurs naturally in our water supplies however in some areas it doesn’t meet minimum standard so they add some. In other areas the fluoride is above recommended levels and obviously they don’t add more. Even if they stopped adding it to our water supply you would still find fluoride in the water supply! The problem with not adding it is most inner city kids would suffer the most before additional fluoride was added most of the children got Periodontal Disease this is a segment of society who can least afford dental treatment.

If fluoride was anywhere near as bad as you people claim it is we would have millions of people dying from it each year, and our life expectancy would be less now than it was before the inception of fluoridation.
I would say it's linked to low intelligence more than anything- the dumber the person the more likely they are to be rabidly anti-fluoride.

I drink a lot of fluoride "infested" water, I brush my teeth regularly, I chew a lot of sugarfree gum and I manage my own construction company.
And today the dentist told me I have exceptionally good teeth
