James! YES!!

I had almost forgotten about your "wreck the thyroid" copy/paste!  That's one of your most entertaining blurbs, and very nicely exemplifies how antifluoridationists cherry-pick, and misrepresent scientific study.

1.  The Peckham hypothyroid study does not claim that fluoridated water can "wreck your thyroid, and lead to weight gain and depression".  It's a poor study seeking to correlate increased hypothyroidism with fluoridated water.  It has been widely discredited in the scientific literature for its poor methodology, inadequate control for confounders, and reaching a conclusion not supported by the peer-reviewed science.  It has no merit.

2.   If you had read the  Case Western study you may  have noted that it demonstrates less diabetes in areas fluoridated with HFA.  So, if anything, this  widely discredited study demonstrates that fluoridation with HFA is protective against diabetes not causative.

Keep it coming, James!
