Ok, what say we tried an experiment. Get yourself a reverse osmosis water purifier.

That would be an interesting study.
It would also be interesting judge your energy level.
In theory a non affected thyroid should make you less tired and more inquisitive.

I just looked up the faucet water filter I use, PUR. It doesn't list flouride as something it is eliminating.
To those of you who drink bottled, water:
How do you know your bottled water is any better than what comes out of my tap? Some bottled water is no better than tap water.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but wont reverse osmosis purifiers take out 100% of everything that isn't H2O?
Question
Do your filters reduce fluoride?
Answer
Our household water filtration products leave the benefical fluoride in your drinking water, which may already be present.
The faucet mount, countertop, and undersink cartridges are made of carbon and an active agent to remove lead. The carbon and active agent are bound in a block form.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion in which the molecules are water and the concentration gradient occurs across a semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane allows the passage of water, but not ions (e.g., Na+, Ca2+, Cl-) or larger molecules (e.g., glucose, urea, bacteria). Diffusion and osmosis are thermodynamically favorable and will continue until equilibrium is reached. Osmosis can be slowed, stopped, or even reversed if sufficient pressure is applied to the membrane from the 'concentrated' side of the membrane.
