I think the whole article is very misleading. First it already
claimed it is not to be taken as medical advise and it is nothing
but ideas. Second america, canada,australia and many other
countries are still using flouride water. And it has never been
proven to be harmful to human before. The research cited is on rats
exposed to incredible amount of flouride.

In general, however, there has
been no consistent pattern; in some of these epidemiological
studies, the increased morbidity or mortality due to cancer can be
attributed to the workers exposure to substances other than
fluoride.
...
The relationship between the consumption of fluoridated
drinking-water and morbidity or mortality due to cancer has been
examined in a large number of epidemiological studies, performed in
many countries. There is no consistent evidence of an association
between the consumption of controlled fluoridated drinking-water
and increased morbidity or mortality due to cancer.

Skeletal fluorosis may develop in workers occupationally exposed to
elevated levels of airborne fluoride; however, only limited new
information was identified.
...
Other studies, however, including analytical epidemiological
investigations, have not supported this finding. In some cases, a
protective effect of fluoride on fracture has been reported.
...
Epidemiological studies show no evidence of an association between
the consumption of fluoridated drinking-water by mothers and
increased risk of spontaneous abortion or congenital malformation.
Other epidemiological investigations of occupationally exposed
workers have provided no reasonable evidence of genotoxic effects
or systemic effects upon the respiratory, haematopoietic, hepatic
or renal systems that may be directly attributable to fluoride
exposure per se.
BTW, fish, tea leaves and breast milk and almost all food have
flouride as well.
The reason why flouride is taken out of water is because there are
some idiots who felt wronged to be given "medication" without
consultation. And these european country actually resort to take
flouridated salt instead to compensate the lack of flouride in
their water. If this is not dumb I do not know what is dumb.

If there is no chlorine in the water, you probably die of dysentry
first.
And the reason why
people are dying of cancer more because the other sickness can be
cured with the current medical knowledge.
