Never swallow fluoride.
The 530 page NRC report may be too much reading for some, but I find the comments to the EPA by NRC panelist, Dr. Thiessen, very succinct and readable (20 pages sans reference). She quotes the NRC report extensively. Do read to the end, there are some great graphs correlating bone fractures with severity of dental fluorosis. Here are just a few excerpts related to thyroid:
• “For persons with iodine deficiency (one example of a sensitive subgroup), average intakes as low as 0.01-0.03 mg/kg/day could produce effects (NRC 2006).” p. 4
• “Thyroid dysfunction and Type II diabetes presently pose substantial health concerns in the U.S. (NRC 2006). Of particular concern is an inverse correlation between maternal subclinical hypothyroidism and the IQ of the offspring. In addition, maternal subclinical hypothyroidism has been proposed as a cause of or contributor to development of autism in the child (Román 2007; Sullivan 2009). Calcium deficiency induced or exacerbated by fluoride exposure may contribute to a variety of other health effects (NRC 2006).” p 8
• “As reviewed by NRC (2006), fluoride also ‘may impact the normal function of the thyroid’ and ‘may disrupt the thyroid's ability to produce hormones that are critical to developing fetuses and infants.’" p. 8
These excerpts from the NRC report are consistent with substantial thyroid science since then.

However, the much longer 2014 scientific affidavit by Dr. Thiessen attached to the Peel Canada lawsuit is more comprehensive....http://momsagainstfluoridation.org/.../Fluoridation-Legal...
