I drive 20 min away and fill BPA free containers full of great tasting natural spring water from the source. Tea and coffee never tasted so good. I usually fill about 14 gallons at a time. This last me about two weeks. Well worth the effort (no pun intended). It's too bad I still have to shower with the city water.
When people start caring more about people than money and power paradise on earth may be had.

Here is a little fun fact for the hell of it.
Here's a picture showing locations where geographical areas associated with groundwater having over 1.5 mg/L of naturally occurring fluoride.
Recommendations of fluoride intake range anywhere for 1.0 mg to as low as 0.5 mg in higher elevations.
That is a large area of the earth where the ground water naturally contains amounts greater than recommended amounts or fluoride.
Side Fact:
Notice the area of land that is the furthest from the fluoride. The UK... they also have notoriously bad teeth!
Just kidding..... that's probably a coincidence.

Most ground water naturally contains fluoride... that includes spring water.

Your argument is wholly invalid.
The arrogant stupidity of the fools who allowed themselves to be hoodwinked into agreeing have their municiplaities pay to have the toxic drug fluoride added to their community's water supply is unfathonable. They should be prosecuted for this crime against humanity.
While I totally agree with you that people shouldn't be forced and blah blah blah... show me proof that it is indeed toxic in the levels we are given it?
It has been the standard since the 60's. Think about that for a second. The 60's. That's 50 years.
We are more intelligent and we are less sick. The only area we are less healthy is we don't exercise as much.

So all I can think of that would make your argument valid is that if Fluoride made us American's eat a lot of Micky D's and other unhealthy fatty foods.

Why?
Why.
It's so sad. I like how I'm part of an "ilk" now, as if not ingesting poison is unsound, nefarious and strange.edit on 17-1-2012 by SyphonX because: (no reason given)
Syphon,
You get a star from me. It's years of slowly induce brainwashing from birth, and our egos will never allow something to be questioned, nor challenged if that is the way it has always been done.

Spring water, so long as it's tested and maintained. You can grab spring water from any clean source, but it still needs to be tested for other contaminants, toxins, over-abundance of unhealthy elements, etc. If you're so lucky, you can do a well on your property, and maintain that regularly.
Other than that... Reverse-osmosis filtration, but it's expensive, probably a chore to maintain, and it's not exactly guaranteed to get all fluoride out, but it's advertised as doing so.
