Gotta give the same response I always give to this BS. EVERYTHING is a poison. The devil’s in the dosage.

If you boil your water before you drink it, will that get rid of the fluoride and other chemicals?

Fluoride is put in drinking water because it is the most economical thing to do on a business standpoint. I can take my aluminum production waste and transform it into a "beneficial" product to be added to water. Fluoride is proven to be beneficial to human bones and teeth in parts of 1/1,000,000. It is in your water, it is in your toothpaste that you use 3x a day (hopefully). If I own a business creating aluminum, it is much cheaper to sell my by-product to an entitiy under claims of benefit than it is to hire thousands of workers and equipment to remove, transport, and dispose of it.

Depending on your religion, or lack of religion, humans have existed from 7,000 to roughly 400,000 years. In this time frame fluoride has not been supplied in volumes as it is today. For far too long the human race has survived and excelled without it for me to believe that fluorine is essential to my health.

Buy Water, do not drink from Your tap. I treat water for a living. In Canada We are forced to add chlorine, and Floride(if it does not occur naturaly). It is well known that both of these harm the body. Better treatments like UV light, and H2O2(hydrogen peroxide) are not considered by the bumbling goverments.
