    To be fair, there is evidence of harm by fluoride. It’s not as significant as they make it out to be though, and it potentially helps a lot of people. That said, I do somewhat agree with the stance. The US is (currently) a developed nation that has plenty of access to toothpaste with fluoride. Fluoride deficiency is not really a concern here. With that, and the harm it causes, I’m slightly in favor of its removal from water. However, it needs to be done in a way to prevent fear mongering and taking things beyond this.
