1.  The facts I present are based on the most current science available.  There is no way I can get any more up to date than that.  

2.  The 2006 NRC recommended lowering the EPA primary fluoride MCL down from 4.0 ppm due to only 3 concerns: risk of severe dental fluorosis, bone fracture and skeletal fluorosis with chronic consumption of water with a F- content of 4.0 ppm or greater. They did not recommend lowering the secondary MCL down from 2.0 ppm.  Water is fluoridated at 0.7 ppm, one third that level.

3.  "Most countries in Europe" have not banned fluoridation.  

4. You are undoubtedly referring to that meaningless list of quotes on "fluoridealert" from individuals in Europe expressing their personal opinions on fluoridation.  They do not speak for their governments.
