Much Better... though the Rho GTP one looks like just a regular research paper.

Unfortunately, there are problems. On the ones that are very AlF heavy, the bad behaviour is its behaviour as a phsophate mimic (I.E. AlF can pass through membranes that Al and F in other forms are unlikely to permeate), and they tend to focus on Aluminum as being the evil at work. For the most part, the observation about fluorine is that it has little theraputic benefit on osteoporosis if not used with a calcium supplement.

So general fluoridation of water might be a bad idea, not because fluoride is bad itself, but because it allows aluminum to get into places where it shouldn't be. Of course, it might be just as effective to target the use of aluminum sulfite to treat drinking water, and still retain the supposed benefits of fluoride.
