To clarify-this is true for most tap water, there are natural sources with much higher concentrations of fluorine

(It's wonderfully ironic that in this case the "synthetic" filtration and addition of fluoride is less toxic than the "natural" version)

In what sense?

Perhaps in toxic doses. The point is that a toxic dose of fluorine is ~literally~ impossible to ingest via tap water

Mostly because the first statement is definitive and the second is hedging, based on a study that found several risk factors for goitre

That's true, but there's scant evidence that the miniscule amounts of fluorine present in fluoridated water significantly impact iodine

Whereas there's ample evidence that fluoridating water saves a staggering number of people from getting caries

But...the point is that thyroid issues aren't caused by fluorine. Certainly not in the doses used in tap water

Perhaps but then the underlying problem is still iodine insufficiency and not the fluoride.
