Incorrect. There is no such thing as "people with adverse reactions to municipally fluoridated water", the category of people simply doesn't exist and that's the single most important reason why fluoridating the water supply makes such good sense from a public health point of view; it benefits everybody and harm's no one. The scaremongers have successfully duped millions into thinking there are risks, but there simply aren't.
[Notice, everyone, how every single rebuttal to my above statement from other forum members I am about to receive will lack any citations from any medical or dental peer-reviewed scientific or scholarly journals, even though we have been studying fluoride constantly, non-stop, for over a half century with almost 4000 individual published studies on record documenting its safety!]
Yes, if one swallows an entire tube of fluoridated toothpaste you'll have stomach upset and if you do it continually for some time may develop some serious problems, but fluoridated water at the standardized concentration of 1 ppm has only one known drawback and that's an estimated 5-10% of people will develop very mild fluorosis, an entirely cosmetic only condition that most people won't even know they have, because it requires a dentist viewing your teeth from a distance of a just few inches to detect (small white areas on the tooth surface).
If you drink tea, you are consuming a beverage that contains 400% the concentration of fluoride (4ppm) as American fluoridated water, BTW.
