These countries don't fluoridate their water - here's why

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250528-why-some-countries-dont-fluoridate-their-water

With water fluoridation of drinking water under the spotlight in the US, we look at why some countries choose not to add the mineral to supplies while others have repealed the practice.

Opposition to fluoride is spreading. The mineral was there, in the recent "Make America Healthy Again" report on childhood disease, among a long list of factors blamed for a crisis of chronic disease afflicting children in the United States.

It just doesn't present a list in any sort of format that could be shared. Numerous countries are mentioned, but they are interspersed throughout the article.

It's a good read.

"Concerns around excessive fluoride intake are one reason why some countries have chosen not to artificially fluoridate their water supplies – but only because their drinking water already has naturally high levels of fluoride."

Other than that, people complaining about their personal liberty. It did say some countries fluoridate other things like milk.

Still seems there is universal consensus from those with a brain, that it makes sense to have something, particularly drinking water, as a source of fluoride.
