I drink a lot of tea, and tea is naturally VERY rich in fluoride (to a such extent that there is no need for a fluoridated toothpaste). So I do not want to overdose on fluoride.<br />And a simple water filter such as Brita will not remove fluoride.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-63950328508345321672019-06-05T13:11:28.926-07:002019-06-05T13:11:28.926-07:00I just use a Brita water filter and jug.

The filter eventually clogs up, but I haven't had the heart to slice a used one open with my Dremel tool to see what crud has accumulated.<br /><br />I have not purchased a plastic bottle of water. Not once, ever. Not even for someone as a guest of mine at a restaurant, and I tell them why - it was wanton waste 30 years ago, let alone now. It's my no go line. People can get upset all they want. Furthermore, with the reasonable water treatment plants most Canadian cities have, I have never seen why they should be allowed for sale. Obviously, there are towns with incompetents running the water show, and that extends to utterly useless small electric systems run in some cases by idiots with little training (which I know more about technically). And then there's First Nation reserve water problems. But in general, sucking water out of a plastic bottle has grown to be "cool", while I just think "idiot". And since hardly a soul gives it much thought, we have to realize how much the average citizen really cares about the environment; they seem unable to add two and two together let alone have any interest in doing so.<br /><br />BMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-39962656195034434512019-06-05T11:50:04.709-07:002019-06-05T11:50:04.709-07:00Plastic is one of the causes of Ulceration Colitis...Plastic is one of the causes of Ulceration Colitis.
