More to the point, do you even know how to interpret information given about a chemical properly? Doesn't seem like it.
Anyway, what ever floats your boat, if you enjoy getting all upset about the flouride in the water, and the conspirosy that goes with it, go for it. But if you think the flouride is bad, check out this bad one.... CLICK LINK HERE

Dihydrogen Monoxide you say?
So "Di" being two of "hydrogen" with "Mono" being "oxygen" equals H2O.
So Dave was right - just drink beer.
Adding Fluoride to drinking water is one of many "health practices" that polarises opinion. Some nations add fluoride - some don't - some have to remove flouride due to high levels of natural occurrence and industrial pollution due to issues with Fluorosis (many regions in India have this issue).
WHO - Flourosis
Whilst I appreciate that some have concerns, I would suggest that there are many other "pollutants" in water supplies that would be of a greater concern than Flouride which never get spoken about. As an example, WA and Queensland has banned the petrol additive MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) as there are studies that have shown it has devastating cumulative effects to humans. When MTBE is used in petrol it accumulates in the underground water supplies.
MTBE report
So, moral of the story. Don't drink the water - drink beer
