Lemonade Diet - Lose 10 pounds in 1 week.
Among other reasons, fluoride is a poison
Virtually every chemical in significant quantity is poisonous. Certainly too much fluoride is unhealthy, but the quantities found in drinking water are so miniscule they have had no effect on either humans nor in animal testing trials with animals whos metabolism is far more volatile and vulnerable to fluoride. I personally don't trust any test done here in the US. I don't feel the water were I live is safe to drink over time. JMHO. Do you know how much fluoride is safe to consume? I don't know and no one else seems to be able to tell me either. Since I have health Fluoride is a heavy element, heavier than the water, so it sinks to the bottom. Fluoride is thus only a problem with groundwater wells. Fluoride is not added into the watersupply in my country. I don't know about yours. If it is, and you've got a condition, then you're quite right to be drinking unflorinated. Fluoride is added in the US among many other chemicals in cities. Some people in the country do enjoy better water. Where my dad lives in the mountains of Penn. the water is much better and I actually drink tap water. As far as buying bacteria bomb water bottles, that is what I do. I don't concern myself with some bacteria. Our bodies are used to handling that. Although now that people are stupid and using anti-bacterial soap, that may change things, but the industry will be happy because it will force us into using more powerful soaps and they will make more money. I don't know why anyone would ever buy anti-bacterial soap? I just use vinegar if need be, but don't bother with that often. Curt |

Where my dad lives in the mountains of Penn. the water is much better and I actually drink tap water. The tap water we have here is actually much cleaner than what you get on bottles, save for one brand. As far as buying bacteria bomb water bottles, that is what I do. I don't concern myself with some bacteria. Our bodies are used to handling that. Well, it's sort of a shooting galley, really. If you expose yourself to a large number of bacteria the risk is higher. You should check the brand(s) of bottled water you buy. While some contain virtually no bacteria, others were found to contain many thousand. Most were in the mid-range. Anyway, I'd rather expose my body to easily tolerable ammounts of chlorine and fluoride than that ammount of bacteria. And if chlorine was really that harmful, in such small ammounts as in drinking water, wouldn't people who have pools, hot tubs, swimmers and the like and especially olympians be very, *very* sick? If it was really that dangerous they should be on the virge of death. Yet not even swimming in the ammounts of chlorine present in those conditions seem to be dangerous. Although now that people are stupid and using anti-bacterial soap, that may Whatever they're putting in those soaps, isn't working. However, soap contains a lot of fat, and is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. Along with keyboards, which on average have 25 times as much bacteria on them as the average toilet seat :-) change things, but the industry will be happy because it will force us into using more powerful soaps and they will make more money. I don't know why anyone would ever buy anti-bacterial soap? I just use vinegar if need be, but don't bother with that often. I'd buy antibacterial soap if it worked, but the effect is only marginal. I use liquid soap instead, on a can, and a squeeze button. That prevents it from becoming a breeding ground. Most people don't realize the anti-bacterial part of the soap is meant for the soap, not your hands, heh. |

They operate on the mistaken belief that the more you pay for something the
more intrinsic value it has. In , Pegasus stated | Ouch... the water we have here is only filtered, not even chlorinated. | And STILL people buy these bacteria-bomb waterbottles in the stores. | WHY? |

My point is, a person cannot extrapolate
what the entire U.S. water is like from his small sample. That's just not realistic! Nor can a person claim the water on 1-2 towns is what the whole state has to drink. I've lived all over California, and the water has ranged from completely undrinkable to absolutely delicious!

strangely NYC water wasnt' that bad. Not strange at all. NYC's water comes directly from reservoirs up in the Catskill mountains - still a relatively unspoiled area. The city's had a reputation for a lot of years for its great tasting water. Getting back to the original fluoride thing...personally, I'm glad we have our own well (which we test every once in a while for pathogens). Great tasting water...no chemicals added. Lee |

Funny, I heard on the radio about a month ago that NY used to rate #1 in the
world for their water. That rating has since been usurped, but it still "up there" in quality. -- ----------------------------------- "An unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates "Lee" wrote in message om...
