Fluoride belongs in toothpaste and, if you want to target the least-well-off, carbonated drinks.

Actually, carbonated drinks do have fluoride when made in fluoridated areas, according to the USDA

Quite.
So it shouldn't be needed in the general water supply *as well*.

It should be a choice. Fluoride has bad health implications too

Medication without consent. Not great.

My first letter to the press was to the Evening Chronicle in 1964, asking for more widespread acceptance of fluoridation. Perhaps time for another?

Absolute nightmare if you have any thyroid conditions - it affects TSH, T3 and T4 levels - this dramatically affects 12-15% of population making their conditions worse with the only choice being to install a water filter.
