Fluoride in tap water is one of those controversial topics.
The debate on health effects of fluoride has a history going all the way back to the early 20th century when it was first introduced to our water supply to help fight tooth decay.
Sure, there are studies out there backing up the idea that fluoride can help prevent cavities, but newer concerns about its potential impacts on thyroid function, cognitive development in kids, and overall health make the issue anything but straightforward.
So, this isn't a black-and-white issue with easy answers; it's full of layers, making it worth diving into.

Regarding my main point about fluoride, If anyone wants to delve deeper, I recommend looking into its impact on the thyroid/mitochondrion axis.
Fluoride inhibits tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA), which is essential for reducing fibrin. This process is crucial because it increases the mitochondrial membrane's receipt of triiodothyronine (T3).
Without proper TPA function, no matter how much T3 you have, the mitochondria do not respond to T3, meaning they do not replicate. This can lead to mitochondrial diseases.
This issue is also occurring with the S1 protein, which may explain the rise in diseases like ME and MS-both of which are mitochondrial diseases.

Regarding the developmental neurotoxicity of fluoride, I recommend looking into two key studies.
Choi et al. (2012) discuss fluoride's impact on developing brains in their study published in Environmental Health Perspectives. They found that high fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQ levels in children, indicating significant neurotoxic effects.
Additionally, the National Research Council (2006) conducted a comprehensive review of fluoride in drinking water. Their findings highlight concerns about fluoride's potential adverse effects on various bodily systems, including the brain, further supporting the need for caution regarding fluoride exposure.
