From this collection of scientific journals (I had to keep an encylopedia open the whole time so I could comprehend what I was reading.) I learned that fluoride can weaken bones, act as a carcinogen, cause alzehiemers and inhibit growth in children under the age of six if received in sufficient doses.
The Flouride Debate | Question 16 | How much is needed?
I also found that the dosage of 0.05 mg/kg/day was a tolerable amount of fluoride, but we receive well over a full gram of fluoride a day. This means that a 88 pound (40kg) child could consume 10 mg of fluoride a day as a tolerable upper intake level.
Skeletal Fluorosis - Chemical & Engineering News
I found that there is a disease called "Skellital Fluorosis." Skeletal fluorosis is almost unknown in countries that actively put fluoride in their water, though. There are only about a dozen cases reported in the United States
ever. It is usually causes by severe fluoride contamination or by inhalation of fluoride laden smoke in factories - never by government controlled fluoridation of water.

I found that fluoride is very unlikely to be a carcinogen in humans unless it is taken in high doses - much higher than you can normally consume without making toothpaste a part of your diet.

Acourding to the 2004 Drinking Water Report, the maximum amount of fluoride allowed in water is 4.0 ppm (parts per million). I did some calculations, and I think that the maximum amount anyone is getting is about 5 grams a day - an amount that even a 2 year old would find tolerable.
So that is what I found. There is just
so much out there about fluoride on both sides that I wonder why there isn't a bigger controversy about this.
Then it occurred to me.
If fluoride "makes people will-less" as you say, then perhaps the reason that there is so little debate over fluoride is actually a direct result of its effects on the mind. I tried looking up some credible information about it, but all I could find were wild, unverifiable claims about Nazis and Communists using fluoride to try and control people, Colgate actually being a secret wing of the government, and Aluminium companies making fluoride a "legal pollutant". So, consider the mind control angle plausible but unlikely.
