I have yet to read one sentence founded by logic from you, not one, so until that happens I am going to have to assume that your sole purpose here is to piss people off and I will have to ignore you.

I too have formed an opinion on logic and I too live my life in a healthy manner. perhaps not
the healthiest, as I am not afraid of menial things like minor doses of chemicals or, as an example, making use of a hand sanitizing station everytime I see one. In fact, I believe over-sanitizing is more detrimental in the long term than not sanitizing at all.
I have had fluoride in my water since before it was added in 1989. As I mentioned before several pages ago, I was 6 when the plebescite was done and fluoride added to the municipal water supply. Prior to that, my mother, an RN, added fluoride manually to our water in the home.
I am now 28, and have consumed city tap water every day and from numerous sources: my own taps, water fountains, restaurants; I am as healthy as a horse, and I have zero cavities in my teeth. I am living proof that fluoride -- in the concentrations it was at in the municipal water supply -- is safe and beneficial, and I am astounded how anyone can think otherwise.
The most frequent argument I hear is that fluoride is toxic. In high concentrations, that's true. ANYTHING is toxic in high enough concentrations though, including pure, untainted water. As I am alive, clearly the level of fluoride in the water was safe.
The next frequent argument I hear is your own, 'I don't want to be forced to put chemicals in my body.' The amount added to your body is so slight it is insignificant on a macroscopic level. At 0.7 PPM, it is impossible to tell the difference between unfluoridated water and fluoridated water.
You have a liver and kidneys for a reason: They naturally cleanse and dispose of harmful toxins in the body. Whether or not you want to add them to your body, chemicals WILL get in. This is undeniable and inevitible, and its the job of these organs to make sure they do not cause harm to the rest of you.
I know I'm not as smart as I think I am, and I'm fine with that. I also know that given your field of study versus mine, you are likely far better versed and educated than I am in the fields that you study. Clearly, on the topic of health and the ingestion of chemicals, I take a more laissez-faire approach whereas you take on a 'healthiest option available,' to the point where you actively try to avoid knowingly ingesting chemicals, and equate the consumption of fluoridated water to drinking poison. That is hyperbolic paranoia, and you are way overboard. It's not nearly as bad as you think it is.
Logic. Reason.
Checkmate.
