Definitely with you on that!  I have a "There's Poison In The Water" sticker on my car, BTW :D
Drinking fluoridated water to prevent tooth issues makes about as much sense as drinking sunscreen to prevent a sunburn.  Also, the cases of dental fluorosis are getting too numerous.

Except that much of the 'fluoride' used to floradate water is not a pure
pharmaceutical grade but a by-product of the fertilizer industry and is
often contaminated with radioactive polonium.

Sorry, but this is a hot button with me. Fluoride belongs in stuff you put
*on* your teeth, not in the water you drink. Even our 'reluctant to ever
admit they were once wrong' TLA (sorry forget which one) government agency
recently cut the recommended rate in half because there are so many better
sources for fluoride today.
