Here are some ways to REMOVE FLUORIDE from water

Some Ways to Remove Fluoride from Water

    * Reverse Osmosis Filtration
    This is used to purify several types of bottled water (not all), so some bottled waters are unfluoridated. Reverse osmosis systems are generally unaffordable for personal use.

    * Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter
    These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are relatively expensive (lowest price I saw was $30/filter) and require frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.

    * Distillation Filtration
    There are commercially available distillation filters that can be purchased to remove fluoride from water. On a related note: When looking at bottled water, keep in mind that 'distilled water' does not imply that a product is suitable for drinking water and other undesirable impurities may be present.

These Do NOT Remove Fluoride

    * Brita, Pur, and most other filters.
    Some websites about fluoride removal state otherwise, but I checked the product descriptions on the companies' websites to confirm that fluoride is left in the water.

    * Boiling Water
    This will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it.

    * Freezing Water
    Freezing water does not affect the concentration of fluoride.

Steps to Reduce Fluoride Exposure

    * Don't take fluoride supplements.

    * Read labels on bottled beverages.
    Unless they are made using distilled or reverse-osmosis water, they are probably made with fluoridated public water.

    * Consider using unfluoridated toothpaste.

    * Avoid drinking black or red tea.
    They come from two different types of plants, but both leaves naturally contain high amounts of fluorine.

    * Be wary of tinned fish and canned food items.
    Fluoride may be used as a preservative.

    * Avoid black or red rock salt or items containing black or red rock salt.

    * Avoid using chewing tobacco.

    * Avoid long term use of medication that contains fluorine.
    Certain antidepressants and medications for osteoporosis contain fluorine.

fluoride & tooth decay / dental fluorosis

What role does fluoride play in preventing tooth decay?
An exposure to fluoride (like that contained in toothpaste and city tap water) is probably the most effective cavity prevention treatment available today.

http://www.animated-teeth.com/tooth_dec ... uoride.htm

Maybe I'm wrong? But isn't fluoride in all toothpaste and such? I know to much can be harmful to you. I guess like many studies they change every year. But my dentist always told me that it was good for your teeth in small amounts. I haven't had a cavity since I was 19 but I do brush 3 times a day and mouthwash two times a day and have my 2 gleanings a year.

Sorry, folks the ole doc had a bunch of family members in the hospital for the last several weeks....

Here's the deal; The most common fluoride pesticide is Sulfuryl Fluoride (and Sulfonyl Fluoride). It is the Sulfuryl (and Sulfonyl) group of the molecule that makes it toxic.
Most Fluoride for human consumption is in the form of Sodium Fluoride (or Stannous Fluoride). There are naturally occurring water sources with over 50mg/L Fluoride. People who have lived in regions of high naturally occurring Fluoride in their drinking water have no known negative effects except for Fluorosis staining of the enamel (brown). These areas (West Texas and Colorado Springs in my part of the country) were where and how we discovered the link between Fluoride in the water and decreased tooth decay. The typical municipal water contains .8 to 1.25 mg/L of Fluoride. Currently it costs the users of most municipal water districts about $.95 per year to add Fluoride to their drinking water. The most recent figures I've seen is that water Fluoridation alone saves the American public just under 100 billion per year in dentistry prevented/not needed. I am extremely proud of my profession in that we have shown the greatest success in putting ourselves out of business.....hmmmmm Lawyers????

lol thanks doc, I was working my way through the thread, getting ready to ask what you answered. I can remember swishing flouride at school as a child(no city water then), and I was wondering if that was good or no. I have abused my teeth, smoking cigarettes, chewing snuff and chewing tobacco for the past 15 years or so, and I'm now stuck with the burdens of my mistakes...an addiction, and a west virginia-looking set of teeth. My advice to anyone is to stay far, far away from tobacco products altogether! I know, I'm stating the obvious, but I gotta say it. I'm sure we have a few younger members/lurkers reading who might benefit from my mistakes.
I'll keep my Freedom, Guns and my Constitution, you keep the change.

Blind faith in ignorant leaders is NOT Patriotism.

In the Wasatch National Forest of Utah, 504 sheep were killed by a single bolt of lightning. Sheep huddle in storms and the lightning bolt passed from one animal to another.
