Fluoride itself is lethal to humans when ingesting about 10mg. Of course you could argue "well then don't ingest that much!", but anything that is toxic in such amounts should not be added to a basic need like water. And it's certainly not up to a government body to decide that people should ingest it for their health. If people want to do that, they are perfectly capable of adding it to their diet themselves. Water in the US has about 0.7mg per liter of water, so that's a pretty steady stream of the stuff you ingest if you drink enough water every single day.
I'm not a health nut by any stretch of the imagination, but stuff like this just irks me. It's not right to mess with the most basic of survival commodities like that.
