High priority beverages which collectively contribute up to 80% of dietary fluoride
consumed in the United States, including municipal (tap)/drinking and bottled waters,
teas, carbonated beverages, beers, and ready-to drink juices and drinks were analyzed.
Samples were collected according to a self-weighting, nationally representative
sampling approach (Bellow et al., 2002). Samples were collected in up to 144 locations
across the country, depending on the level of contribution to fluoride intake. Since
drinking water accounts for approximately 75% of dietary fluoride intake, sampling of
drinking water was conducted, with Office of Management and Budget approval, in 144
nationally representative private residential locations nationwide (Pehrsson et al., 2004).
The distribution of fluoride does vary due to naturally occurring fluoride levels and local
fluoridation practices. The use of well water, commercial bottled waters, home purifiers
and filter systems also affects variability in fluoride content of drinking water and
impacts on estimates of daily intakes for individuals. NDL contacted water suppliers
about their fluoridation practices and these were compared to participant responses
(Wilger et al., 2004). Differences in geographical location have been incorporated into
the National Fluoride Database for drinking water, brewed tea, and carbonated sodas.

Face it, the game is over. All of you are just sitting around on the internet, talking about how we are being poisoned like it's just some every day casual conversation. How pathetic.

Maybe a handful are actually preparing.Then you see people say to get clean water. Where? Most people can barely even afford to pay bills, much less pay for some decent filtration system. And if that wasn't enough, they are spraying us to death.
What a joke.flame:

Well,
What do you expect? It's all right there in front of us and only a few give a damn. I read and study on this stuff constantly but when I talk to my friends and family about it they act as if I'd just claimed I was Napoleon reicarnated or was in contact with Elvis.
The fact is we are all being poisoned and nobody cares. So, I'll continue to tell people what I can in everyday casual conversation and drink my reverse osmosis water. ($169 at the hardware store. start saving)
Hey, you can lead a zombie to unflouridated water but you can't make him think.
Possible Symptoms of Fluoride Poisoning Please Note: Having one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean you are fluoride poisoned. This page is offered only as a guide, which can help you determine whether fluoride poisoning is a possibility. Only your doctor can diagnose and treat you.*
* Arthritis – stiff, painful joints with or without swelling; painful feet in morning
* Asthma – especially after showering in chlorine-filtered water
* Bony, painful lumps where tendons and ligaments attach to bones. Calcifications of connective tissue on X-ray, especially with pain and reduced range of motion
* Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) – especially if it lifts when you spend time in an unfluoridated city or switch to distilled water for drinking and cooking
* Cold – temperature below normal, feeling cold all the time, feeling cold soon after a hot bath or shower
* Colic in bottle-fed babies or colic developing when breast-fed babies start solids or are weaned * Dental fluorosis (white or brown spots on teeth
* Diabetes – worsening symptoms
* Diabetes insipidus (a kidney ailment) – excessive thirst, increased water consumption that does not relieve thirst, dry throat and irritated eyes, and frequent, dilute urine, especially at night, with normal blood sugar findings
* Eyes – moving black spots (scotoma, or floaters)
* Fatigue, weakness and brain fog after bathing or showering in chlorine-filtered water
* Fibromyalgia (severe muscle weakness and/or pain with extremely sore spots on various bony areas) * Food intolerances that seem to come and go
* Gastrointestinal problems – irritable bowel, nausea, diarrhea without apparent cause, heartburn and upper bowel pain especially after drinking a full glass of water
* Gum disease – irritated or bleeding gums despite good hygiene and diet; gums heal when you use unfluoridated toothpaste
* Heart palpitations and increased heart rate without exertion
* Kidney disease – worsening symptoms, kidney stones
* Skin – hives, blisters, rash on stomach or back within an hour of drinking fluoridated water or after bathing or showering in chlorine-filtered water
* Tea drinking – causes upset stomach, gastric pain, heart palpitations or “the jitters” similar to strong coffee * Teeth – loosening or needing to be extracted despite good hygiene and diet
* Thyroid diseases – underactive (hypothyroid), overactive (hyperthyroid or Graves disease), goiter and nodules
We believe that many, many people are either fluoride poisoned or fluoride sensitive and simply do not know that they are. They know that they feel sick and may be treated for symptoms with any number of drugs, but neither they nor their doctors have any idea that fluoride is the culprit.

On a serious note did anyone check out the amount of fluoride in instant tea, i am drinking coffee from now on
Is the amount of fluoride in bottled water always listed on the label? The FDA does not require bottled water manufacturers to list the fluoride content on the label, but it does require that fluoride additives be listed. In 2006, the FDA approved labeling with the statement, “Drinking fluoridated water may reduce the risk of tooth decay,” if the bottled water contains from 0.6 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L.

They're not required to tell you anything from the looks of it.
