You are right in saying there are tons of scientists on both sides of the debate. So if there isn't a consensus, why are we adding this stuff to the water? Seems irresponsible....
Well, obviously these people without sufficient training, knowledge etc. are making an impact, because many government/health institutions, including the EPA, have come out and recommended lowering fluoride concentrations in drinking water. This to me shows alot of this work has atleast
some merit. I think in time water fluoridation will be a giant embarrassment for the government.
