How to ‘unfluoridate’ your drinking water.

If your water is fluoridated, now what?

You can’t boil it out — that will only concentrate the fluoride in it. And those popular water filters, like Brita or Pur, won’t do a thing to take out fluoride.

And bottled water may not be an answer, either. Up to 40 percent of all that bottled water is just tap water that could be from another fluoridated source.

A better way to make your water safe to drink is to have a reverse osmosis system set up in your home.

Fluoride can also be removed with an activated alumina defluoridation filter and by distilling your water. Distilled water often tastes “flat” or not very good as distillation also removes natural minerals from water such as calcium, magnesium and iron.

Another way to make sure your water is (mostly) fluoride free is to use the Doulton Filter Systems.

The company offers a countertop water filter that connects to an existing faucet and will remove over 85 percent of the fluoride in your water. It also removes heavy metals, nitrates, and chlorine.

And as an added bonus, the filters will also get rid of some of the drug residues that are turning up in municipal water supplies from being flushed down the toilet. Drugs that include acetaminophen (!), progesterone, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium.

It’s hard to believe that in the United States we have to take such extreme measures to ensure that something as basic and simple as our water is safe to drink. Especially when other countries have done away with fluoridation altogether.
