These studies are of areas with naturally high levels of fluorides in the water tables. This is very different from controlled public water systems with added fluoride as the levels are controlled and consistent. As the studies you provide state, fluoride is an vital mineral in the body and important part of modern dental health, but like any mineral it can have toxic effects with over exposure.
