I would think that with floridated toothpaste they don’t need to continue to put floride in water. On the other hand, so many people now routinely drink bottled water (I don’t think it’s floridated, is it?)
Double reverse osmosis is the water we use (had a system to put in) it removes flouride and just about everything else that ain’t water. Bottled water is nothing special, some are better than others but it’s mostly tap water, some is even spring water which today can be more dangerous than tap.
Do bottled waters have floride in them? I’m curious now.
OHMYGOD!!!! Flouride!!!
An obvious conspiracy to kill us all by the Trilateral Commission, The Bildeburgers, The Illuminati, The Skull and Bones, The Council on Foriegn Relations, the BHO birth certificate cover-uppers and those who want to keep the BSC.
Okay...these people already had bone cancer, right? Then it only makes sense that their body chemistry is wacky. I believe with some cancers the person has high levels of calcium in their blood because the cancer leeches it from the bones. So the question is...is fluoride the cause or just the symptom? Probably the latter.

Actually, almost our entire food supply is fluoridated. The USDA has put together a fluoride in foods database so that we don’t eat too much. However, most people don’t even know they should restrict their daily fluoride intake.
Fluoride is also found naturally in ocean fish and tea and is in many medicines. Fluoride containing pesticide residues also are present on some produce and grains. Sulfuryl fluoride has replaced methyl bromide as a post harvest fumigant - adding even more fluoride into our diets.
Meanwhile, fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. So avoiding fluoride has no downside (I know that’s hard to believe) And fluoride ingestion does not reduce tooth decay. However, fluoride applied to the teeth does harden the outer enamel. But some say it hides rather than prevents tooth decay as huge cavities are found under sound-looking enamel when it is poked or proded.
Interesting. A better link is actually shown here, than the link between the level of dietary aluminum and the formation of the plaques of Alzheimer’s disease.
Actually, that’s complicated as the FDA doesn’t require fluoride to be on all the bottled water that contains fluoride naturally. However, fluoride added bottled water has to say so.
The FDA regulates bottled water. But its almost impossible to know how much fluoride is in the bottle, unless you call the manufacturer, because:
— Domestic bottled water with no added fluoride may contain between 1.4 and 2.4 mg/L fluoride
— Imported bottled water with no added fluoride may not contain fluoride in excess of 1.4 mg/L.
— Domestic bottled water with added fluoride can contain between 0.8 and 1.7 mg/L fluoride
— Imported bottled water with added fluoride may not contain more than 0.8 mg/L fluoride.
Bottlers are not required to list any naturally-occurring fluoride on the labels.
An earlier study showed more of this cancer in areas that got fluoridated water, than in areas that did not. Certainly other reasons should be investigated, but it seems likely that environmental fluoride is actually pushing this particular cancer.
Right.
A disease with 400 cases in the US annually. And, how many Americans consume fluoridated water every day?
So, some lab finds increased levels of fluoride in osteosarcoma patients and conclude cause and effect?
Sounds like something we’d hear from the Al Gore science crowd.
I can’t believe they’re doing this to our precious bodily fluids!
Some do, some do not have fluoride. I called the Target customer service number and their house brand water, does not.
We use one of these:

with a set of the PF-2 Arsenic & Flouride Reduction Elements.

Fluoride can be removed from a water supply with anionic resin in a home water softener (replacing the fluoride ions with chloride ions which came from the recharging brine).
If I were king, the only human consumable things fluoride would be added to would be toothpaste and prescription drug products.
