The stupid continues.
Fluoridation only takes the fluoride level to 0.7 milligrams per liter.
That level is quite safe.
Those that cite health issues with Fluoride are citing naturally occurring fluoridated water where the levels are well above 0.7 mg/liter.

WInter Haven isn't the first in Florida. The stupid goes deep in this Florida man red state:

"Collier County commissioners unanimously agreed in February to end the addition of fluoride in the county's public drinking water system after nearly three hours of often-impassioned debate at the commission meeting.

The commissioners cited "health freedom" as a reason, pushed by a phalanx of anti-fluoridation activists."

Gotta love "health freedom" as "a reason". As in "freedom from having good health." Yay!

You go Florida Man.

Naturally occurring fluoride is a different compound, so I'm confused over this particular artificial isolates origin and historic testing.

No, it's not. They are identical. There is no difference in water with natural occurring fluoride and purposely fluoridated water Do not confuse the source of the fluoridation with the product of the fluoridation. The water's chemical makeup is identical, no matter the source of the fluoridation.

Do you know how we figured out that adding fluoride to our water made people healthier? Helped them keep their teeth? Prevent dental caries? The history? None of this is secret. It's all well known. As is the benefits of fluoridation.

Like anything, though, more (past a certain point) works against you. Like taking too much medicine, eating too much of one thing, or simply drinking too much water. You can die from that.

This is why I specifically stated 0.7mg/liter. Some counties here have higher naturally occurring levels of Fluoride in the water, so they add very little or none, as long as it doesn't go above 0.7mg/liter. In populations where the water is higher than 0.7mg/liter (significantly higher) there is evidence of decreased IQ and other developmental issues. This is not something specific or peculiar to Fluoride. It's the way most things work in this world.

France has water that has varying ranges of natural fluoridation - typically 0.5mg/liter.
Also France allows the production and use of Fluoride in salt. We don't allow that here.
Sweden's water contains anywhere from 0 to 4.1mg/liter. That's outrageously high, btw. Nearly a quarter of the wells used in Sweden have fluoride levels twice (1.5mg/liter, actually) the recommended value of 0.7 here.
Are you going to site Sweden as an example of mental health issues?

Oh please. Elucidate me. Post your links again.
Surely it's not too hard for you to mouse click - copy link - paste.
I haven't been on any thread that you posted any actual data with links that backed it up that I could verify as valid.
I love learning new stuff - as long as it's factual and scientifically valid.

And that means nothing.
Do you not understand chemistry?
I kid myself.
What is in the water is identical to that found in naturally occurring fluoridated water.
It doesn't matter the source.
You don't seem to understand the basic chemistry or what's being done. You actually telling me that fluoride derived by one method is different than fluoride derived from a different method, so if we just used "natural" fluoride (WTF that is) then, what?

Three chemicals are used to fluoridate drinking water in the U.S: sodium fluoride (NaF); sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6); and fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6).

Fluorosilicic acid is a byproduct of the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer. It is recovered as a vapor, which ensures a high degree of purity. Both sodium fluoride and sodium fluorosilicate are made from fluorosilicic acid recovered in this manner.

Sodium fluorosilicate is created by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with caustic soda, itself a water treatment chemical. Sodium fluoride is created by neutralizing fluorosilicic acid with sodium chloride, common salt.

This is how the fluoride that is used to bring fluoride levels up to the desired level (less than or equal to 0.7mg/liter) are created. Through chemistry, resulting in soluble fluoride compounds.

Now you can find all kinds of garbage out there about how the fluorides are somehow different based on the source, for instance those people selling their "natural spring water" and others (profit oriented or health nutcases, or our future cabinet member) but there is no difference in the resulting water.

"(There is) no difference between the fluoride present naturally and the fluoride added as part of a community water fluoridation scheme. In laboratory analysis, the fluoride ions would be indistinguishable from one another, regardless of their origins."
