PaulW,
I find it odd that you would think Fluoride is A-Okay. The safe fluoride in drinking water propaganda ship sank years ago.
I assume you understand that fluoride is absorbed by the teeth in young children and has positive dental benefits but there's no benefit for putting it in drinking water to be consumed as it's a toxin when digested. In toothpaste fine, in drinking water... NO.
There have since been many independent peer reviewed studies about the toxicity of fluoride in drinking water. You're welcome to revisit the subject and find up to date information on the matter. Please don't show me stake holders claims or out of date conflict of interest studies on the matter. GMO is following in the same foot tracks of the old fluoride non-scientific propaganda promotion. Fortunately for the people of today many are well aware of the lack in true independent scientific peer review study on GMO and will not be so easily beguiled by baseless propaganda again.
You're more than welcome to have your opinion but I as many others demand complete and thorough independent scientific peer reviewed and verified positive result safety studies before accepting another pack of corporate financed clouded claims and lies.

ETA: I know you don't like to read through entire document's so I'll bring this section to your attention within the link:
Thyroid
"Fluoride's suppressive effect on the thyroid is more severe when iodine is deficient, and fluoride is associated with lower levels of iodine.[22] Thyroid effects in humans were associated with fluoride levels 0.05–0.13 mg/kg/day when iodine intake was adequate and 0.01–0.03 mg/kg/day when iodine intake was inadequate.[14]:263 Its mechanisms and effects on the endocrine system remain unclear.[14]:266"
Compare the above to what the "recommended" level of fluoride is in drinking water. Also keep in mind that the thyroid is only one of many issues regarding fluoride in "low levels".
