Bottled water in the United States
The U.S. is the largest consumer market for bottled water in the world, followed by Mexico, China, and Brazil.[3] In 2008, U.S. bottled water sales topped 8.6 billion gallons for 28.9% of the U.S. liquid refreshment beverage market, exceeding sales of all other beverages except carbonated soft drinks, followed by fruit juices and sports drinks

NRDC conducted a four-year review of the bottled water industry and the safety standards that govern it, including a comparison of national bottled water rules with national tap water rules, and independent testing of over 1,000 bottles of water. Their conclusion is that there is no assurance that just because water comes out of a bottle it is any cleaner or safer than water from the tap.

it's a dental health benefit, that's it.
In some cases, yes, but not all. Some bottled water is spring water, or, the type I get, is distilled water.

Actually bottled water is nothing other then tap water. So your still getting all those good poisons and mind control stuff.

Not hardly... that is part of the problem -- there was a big health campaign about it a long time ago, and everyone was galvanized... and then nobody cared to look at the long term benefits or the dose amounts.
Brushing your teeth and getting fluoride at the dentist once in a while is just fine.
But fluoride in the water builds up on our pineal gland and is detrimental to fundamental life functions.
Whether its a bona-fide conspiracy, or just another case of gross incompetence and negligence... that is speculation.
No I'm not the one making the claims...
Feminizing...
-uranium, fluoride & lithium in water to be exposed on Ventura TV show
Tonight’s Conspiracy Theory to expose toxins in water...
a startling exposé of the dangerous toxins being added to our water by design
Regulators were informed of each of those violations as they occurred. But regulatory records show that fewer than 6 percent of the water systems that broke the law were ever fined or punished by state or federal officials, including those at the Environmental Protection Agency, which has ultimate responsibility for enforcing standards.
In some instances, drinking water violations were one-time events, and probably posed little risk. But for hundreds of other systems, illegal contamination persisted for years, records show.
The E.P.A. administrator, Lisa P. Jackson, this year announced a wide-ranging overhaul of enforcement of the Clean Water Act, which regulates pollution into waterways.
“The previous eight years provide a perfect example of what happens when political leadership fails to act to protect our health and the environment,”
However, almost none of those systems were ever punished...The problem, say current and former government officials, is that enforcing the Safe Drinking Water Act has not been a federal priority.
“But some systems won’t come into compliance unless they are forced to,”...“And sometimes a court order is the only way to get local governments to spend what is needed.”
The majority of drinking water violations since 2004 have occurred at water systems serving fewer than 20,000 residents, where resources and managerial expertise are often in short supply.
While nearly every major city in Texas has no detectable amounts of radiation in their purified water, according to United States Geological Survey officials, the Houston region and surrounding counties are prone to having natural uranium deposits that are near the aquifers that provide well water.
the effects of fluoride, lithium and uranium in drinking water and much more
Now, Gov. Ventura’s investigation reveals that foreign companies are stealing water from the Great Lakes, imposing upon one of the American public’s greatest assets
Already, the scale of schemes to privatize water and make big profit on a clear necessity are astounding
Moreover, Ventura has uncovered a novel way of siphoning this “blue gold.” Giant floating water bags have been implemented to create huge “water trains” and profiteers are using them to ship America’s fresh water to foreign countries like China
Now, the right to collect rainwater has been challenged here in the United States as well.
Here's what the science says: "just 3% of the rain falling on undeveloped land makes it back into the stream system in a dry year, compared with 15% in a wet year." In other words, if farmers and mega-vegetable gardeners were to store the rain in wet seasons and release it for irrigation in a dry year, the dry ground would soak it up before it got to the ground water; further exacerbating drought conditions.
A ban on rainwater harvesting "makes no sense to people, because rain seems ubiquitous," says Mo McBroom, policy director of the Washington Environmental Council. "They're like, 'Do I have to have an air right to breathe?' " Ms. McBroom responds that one rain barrel won't hurt anyone -- but hundreds of thousands of 5,000-gallon cisterns could threaten the livelihoods of all who depend on the West's mighty rivers.
Could population control through forced mass medication in water be underway?
This form of control was discussed in sitting-White House Science Czar John P. Holdren’s book Ecoscience as far back as 1977.
The team learns that male birth rates are dropping all over the world.
Other chemicals including fluoride further raise suspicions about who is controlling what goes into our bodies, and why.
Is that why government experts and leading bio-ethicists are advocating adding dose amounts of lithium to municipal water districts?
But fluoride in the water builds up on our pineal gland and is detrimental to fundamental life functions.
Actually there is evidence that fluoride is not even a benefit for your dental health, even some evidence that it actually weakens teeth and there is really no reason for it to be used at all.
Why on earth is it promoted so much
he has never had a cavity or any dental problems
Valid basis for growing concern: "Hundreds of papers [have been] published in reputable journals, a ...large bady of evidence of potential hazards."
Dental benifit claims questionable: "Reductions in dental caries are just as great in nonfluoridated as in fluoridated areas."
Unsightly mottling of teeth: "Several studies indicate...that the prevalence of dental fluorisis is rising, particularly at fluoride levels of 1 ppm."
Early stages of skeletal fluorosis: "Doses as low as 2 to 5 milligrams per day [the amount of two to five liters of one ppm of fluoridated water] can cause the preclinical and early clinical stages." (Page 35.)

Care to address any specific portion of my post? Or are you just going to do the "lalalala I can't hear you" response which addresses nothing?

I use a filter.
I said go look at the EPA research already
that will address your entire post.
WHY EPA'S HEADQUARTERS UNION OF SCIENTISTS OPPOSES FLUORIDATION
You might wanna get out your "big boy" science kit and try and debunk this now huh ?

Well this can actually be a really good thing for future generations of males. If their are 90 females for every 10 males, I really do not see how men could suffer from this at all.

Wow, interesting.
The funny thing is, since the US started fluordation in 1945ish, the life expectancy of the average American has only increased.
Fluoride is a natural occuring element commonly found in trace amounts in water, food, and soil.
