    You have until end of next year to get one.

    Work will now begin on the practicalities of adding fluoride to tap water, taking levels from 0.08 parts per million to one part per million.

    The SHA will now enter legal negotiations with Southern Water to determine precisely how the process will be carried out, and how much it will cost.

    It is thought fluoride will not actually be in the city's water until late 2010 at the earliest.

    You are right in NOT wanting fluoride to be added to your water supply. It is not only a DUMB idea, but BAD SCIENCE. The studies those people rely on to do this are flawed in many ways and will generate many health problems for people that drink that junk. Fluoride is a deadly poison and is a way for the hazardous waste people to dispose of it because it basically is a byproduct of making fertilizer. Just look on the toothpaste tube that contains fluoride and see the WARNING. It says to keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If fluoride was so safe, why would they put that warning on their.

    If fluoride keeps you from getting cavities, why did ALL primitive people die with perfect teeth in their mouths? NO cavities. Did you know that the atomic bomb uses fluoride as it's base chemical?

    It's important to put a shower filter on your shower to keep from getting it on your body because your skin will absorb it at a very fast rate from just one showering. I personally distill my water and add my own minerals to that. As part of the distillation process, I also filter the water in granulated charcoal as a secondary attempt to eliminate the fluoride. You can purchase a distiller for about $99 on the internet. The taste is incredible and you can use any water supply.

    If you are interested, I can send you tons of information that shows how ridiculous it is to put fluoride in water to try and prevent cavities. These people are simply ignorant and NOT informed that are doing this to you. The most devastating issue people that drink that is iodine deficiencies become rampant. Thyroid diseases will increase dramatically as does in the people that drink that garbage.

    By the way, the National Kidney Foundation has just taken a strong position against fluoridation because people can die that are on kidney machines and weak kidney's in general that drink that junk.

    good luck to you

    I noted as the water board to aim our water at domicile approximately 9 years in the past. They suggested it became O.ok. (by making use of which they meant it contained 'no better than the authorised volume of......') despite it became it contained became making me ill all an identical. I had just about everlasting diarrhoea. I knew it became the water because of the fact as quickly as I stayed in somebody else's domicile for a week my issue cleared after 2 complete days and as quickly as I back domicile the difficulty back after 2 complete days. the only element distinctive became the water as my acquaintances water got here from a distinctive reservoir. i began out eating bottled water - no longer something particular and expensive, in simple terms the cheap 2 litres food market variety. i became great with that so realised that i could probably be very properly with any water different than that which got here with the aid of my faucet. next i offered a filter out jug and that i became O.ok. with that. i've got no longer under the impact of alcohol faucet water at that domicile considering the fact that. despite the fact that, now i've got moved domicile i do no longer % the filter out jug because of the fact the water right here would not upset me the two. the two there became something incorrect with the water on the previous domicile or something incorrect with the pipework. The water board took swabs from interior my faucets and suggested they have been all O.ok. i'm became chuffed that I no longer needed the filter out jug yet i think of (after what you're saying) it would desire to be a stable thought to start making use of it lower back.

    Hello,

    (ANS) The answer is definitely NO! water jug filtering systems won't filter out floride as far as I understand.

    **Jug based filters will filter out large physical particles or muck that gets into tap water or water from other sources.

    **Also they will filter out the heavy metals like zinc, mercury,etc but floride is so well disolved into the tap water it would require a very specilized filtering system. Because the levels of floride in tap water exsist at micron or sub micron levels, i.e. at tiny levels.

    **If you wanted to you could look at the jug makers website for specifications of their filters and what they do & don't remove. Most of the well known brands do have websites.

    **Whats removed also depends upon a number of variable factors such as how clean or dirty the tap water is, how clean or dirty the piping system is i.e. old lead pipes or modern? how old or new the jug filter is, etc.

    I have never seen these filter jugs claiming they can filter out fluoride, so I would say no.

    If they could remove it they would be advertising this.
