There is no law mandating fluoridation -- only recommendations. Fluoride Action Network’s website http://fluoridealert.org/ shows how fluoride harms many parts of the body, including the brain, endocrine system, and kidneys to name just a few. Many parents use fluoridated tap water with baby formula, obviously unaware of the harm to their infant from fluoride.
HHS has classified fluoride as a drug. It is inappropriate to administer a medical treatment to a population through the water system since there is no consideration of age, size, existing medical condition, and sensitivity to it. It is also a deprivation of basic liberty.
CDC stated that the main benefit from fluoride is through topical application and gave fluoride toothpaste and mouthrinse its highest rating for effectiveness.
