As for the claim that the FDA has not approved fluoride... possibly true, but conclusively irrelevant. The FDA does not regulate tap water supplies. That's the EPA.

Thanks Dude! I guess the relevance of the FDA claim goes with the statement that by FDA standards Fluoride is a drug, and then it's an ethical question about medicating the masses without informed consent by adding an unapproved drug to the water supply. Yes I know, this all reeks of wacky conspiracy theory, but I don't want to be so put off by that that I throw out the baby with the bathwater because it seems there is something worth learning more about here.
