Fluoride makes your body absorb extra aluminum. Aluminum goes to the brain. Aluminum shows up alarmingly in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
Originally, sodium fluoride is used in drinking water. Hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and its salt sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) are more commonly used additives, especially in the United States. The use of hydrofluorosilicic acid contaminated with heavy metals creates a regulatory blind spot that jeopardizes any safe use of fluoride additives

2006 report “Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards”, the National Research Council (NRC):
“several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride on thyroid function.”
“fluoride exposure in humans is associated with elevated TSH concentrations, increased goiter prevalence, and altered T4 and T3 concentrations” with “similar effects on T4 and T3 reported in experimental animals”
The NRC panel recommended, “effects of fluoride on various aspects of endocrine function should be examined further, particularly with respect to a possible role in the development of several diseases or mental states in the United States.”

Estimated daily intake
Daily intakes of fluoride can vary significantly according to the various sources of exposure. Values ranging from 0.46 to 3.6–5.4 mg/day have been reported in several studies (IPCS, 1984).[14] In areas where water is fluoridated this can be expected to be a significant source of fluoride, however fluoride is also naturally present in huge range of foods, in a wide range of concentrations.[27] The maximum safe daily consumption of fluoride is 10 mg for an adult.
