In the US (and some other places) it's actively added to the water supply. "XYZ is doing things to our drinking water!" has always been a flash point for strong feelings, justified or not, and wild rumors, because its so fundamental and unavoidable. Combine with general skepticism against health intervention being fanned, boom. |

Enriched flour, iodized salt, vitamin- & mineral-fortified children's breakfast cereals, pasteurized milk, etc., etc. seem to get vastly less angry push-back.
Even though (from a quick Google) there are loads of fluoride-removing water filters that anyone could purchase.
Vs. good luck if you want to de-enrich flour, or any product made from it.
Theory: Too many of the Well-Intended Scientists who were given the Fluoridate Public Water Supplies quest cards had used Charisma as their dump stat.
