How to Remove Fluoride From Water
Most people are aware that there is a controversy surrounding public fluoridation of drinking water. There are several ways to obtain drinking water without fluoride.
Reverse Osmosis Filtration
This is used to purify several types of bottled water, so some bottled waters are unfluoridated. Reverse osmosis systems are generally unaffordable for personal use.
Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter
These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are relatively expensive and require frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.
Distillation Filtration
There are commercially available distillation filters that can be purchased to remove fluoride from water.
Some of the water purification methods that Do NOT Remove Fluoride are:
Brita, Pur, and most other filters
Boiling Water
Freezing Water
To Reduce Fluoride Exposure:
Don't take fluoride supplements
Read labels on bottled beverages
Consider using unfluoridated toothpaste
Avoid drinking black or red tea
Be wary of tinned fish and canned food items
Avoid black or red rock salt or items containing black or red rock salt
Avoid using chewing tobacco
Avoid long term use of medication that contains fluorine
