It's not fluoride, it's a pesticide that has a side effect of being an endocrine disruptor called Atrazine. You can read about it here and here... or don't.

And you can read about the effects of fluoride on intelligence here.

While I agree that sodium fluoride is harmful, the article you linked did not distinguish between sodium fluoride and calcium fluoride. Having a statement like "Fluoride is known to have both beneficial and adverse effects on humans." without distinguishing between the two is adverse.

As far as I know, ions in solution dissociate. Your distinction between sodium fluoride and calcium fluoride in drinking water makes no sense to me.
