Still, even the findings at higher levels of fluoride may be relevant to some Americans. Individual fluoride exposure can vary a lot, depending on what a person drinks. And according to one recent estimate, more than 2.9 million Americans are served by water utilities that deliver tap water with levels of fluoride at or above 1.5 mg/L. According to CDC data, that includes utilities in Troy, Missouri (12,116 people served; 2.31 mg/L); Seminole, Texas (8,549 people served; 4.40 mg/L); and Abercrombie, North Dakota (258 people served; 2.29 mg/L)."
BUT
Extensive evidence has shown that fluoridation dramatically improves dental health. And many of the most ardent complainers are ultimately those wealthy enough to manage their own intake and remove fluoride via filtration; it's not like getting rid of it is illegal and there's no choice.
