Fluoride is added to many municipal water supplies.  The website you 
linked has its britches in a bundle about that, too, except...if what 
you're arguing is true, *everybody* should be running around with guns, 
shooting up everybody else.  But they're not.  So maybe the danger is, 
how do we say...exaggerated?  Just a wee bit?

A great sentence from http://www.fluoridealert.org/media/2000d.html 
reads, "Your dentist probably told you something different, but 
Featherstone is a respected researcher and an authority on the subject." 
  You'd be hard-pressed to find a better example of fallacy from appeal 
to authority.

Quite frankly, I don't buy this alarmist propaganda, simply due to 
statistics.  There would be a lot more obvious issues if this stuff was 
really as much of a problem as is claimed.
