well duh its unethical( forcibly medicating hundreds of millions of people through the public drinking water )
but it says right there in that document
The Chinese government now considers any water supply containing over 1 ppm fluoride a risk for skeletal
fluorosis. (Bo Z, et al. (2003). Distribution and risk assessment of fluoride in drinking water in the West Plain
region of Jilin Province, China. Environmental Geochemistry and Health 25: 421-431.)
Japan:
Rejected fluoridation: “...
may cause health problems....” The 0.8 -1.5 mg regulated level is for calciumfluoride, not the hazardous waste by-product which is added with artificial fluoridation.
