Having worked for years with professionals who put fluoride in the drinking water, I honesty say that they are not in on some conspiracy. Right or wrong, they think what they are doing is normal, and don't look past it as far as I can tell.
It's not particularly healthy. Thing is, it's not unhealthy enough to cause a problem in the occasional glass of water that most people have, which is why adding it to the drinking water is virtually every municipality of any size for millions of people hasn't caused a problem that is to big to ignore, even decades later, such as with lead paint.
Then keep drinking that glass of water 365 days a year, for 60 years or so.
Then brush teeth twice daily.
Then shower in it, hopefully frequently.
In sodas and juices as well.
Ever seen erosion or salt buildups over time from a small drip?
Not to mention water intake is really more like 1L/day though 2-3/day is quoted.
That's the thing about carcinogens and stuff that is bad for you over long term exposure, even stuff like radiation from the sun. Virtually everyone could take a glass of fluorinated water every day for 60 years and be just fine, just like most people could get plenty of sun everyday and be just fine.
It's very hard, on a population level, to tease out fluoride induced diseases from all the other shit people put into their bodies that cause similar problems.
Look, I'm not pro-fluoride. Quite acting like it. If anything, it's less of a problem that other things in our food supply.
