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.

I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.
Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...
You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake.
How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?
A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love... Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I — I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.

I personally know probably around 100 people that drink tap water as do you.
I have had 3 cavities in my life. I drink probably around 8-10 glasses a day.
Fluoride is found naturally in drinking water and the deeper you dig the more there is. Does this mean it is healthy? No, but I am just saying.
It's not like it is new either, it's been the standard since the 60's.
While some would disagree, I would say that our well being has actually improved since the 60's. Our intelligence has also improved.
We live longer etc... so yeaaaaaah must be more harmful than led.
Led kills people, btw. Don't believe every damned study you read.

This spring has been supplying water to this community for over 100 years at least. No problems so far.

Hey if flouride is already naturally occurring, why do they have to put more in? Makes no sense. I guess we must be getting a double does of flouride then in the tap. One calc flouride and the other sodium flouride. Fun eh. More is not always better.

Where did I say it was safe to drink?
I just said I don't personally see the point in it being added to drinking water.
I don't know how you've construed that as me saying it's safe to drink.

First who is giving the recommended levels? And if this is the case, then why are many of the areas suggesting additional fluoride in areas with already ample supplies, like Michigan where I live.
