I live in a very rural area outside of Metro-Detroit and all we have available to us is well-water. Because the water is so full of minerals, which we then treat with salt-softener, we have to use osmosis purification in order to have drinkable water at our house.
Although the process of osmosis purification strips the water of some of it's nutritional benefits (ok, a lot of them) this water is by far the best water I have ever had the pleasure of drinking.

Do you not then also worry about the fluoride found in your toothpastes?
Are you similar with the theories that fluoride makes people submissive and easier to rule? i would love to see some solid scientific testing of this.
Fluoride -
"One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system"- Do you eat your toothpaste?ETM
- Hombre, that is why it is written on toothpaste tubes not to swallow nor give it to kids who may swallow it.georgesIII

Here are some of the key test results obtained by the AP:
Officials in Philadelphia said testing there discovered 56 pharmaceuticals or byproducts in treated drinking water, including medicines for pain, infection, high cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness and heart problems. Sixty-three pharmaceuticals or byproducts were found in the city's watersheds.
Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications were detected in a portion of the treated drinking water for 18.5 million people in Southern California.
Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey analyzed a Passaic Valley Water Commission drinking water treatment plant, which serves 850,000 people in Northern New Jersey, and found a metabolized angina medicine and the mood-stabilizing carbamazepine in drinking water.
A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco's drinking water.
The drinking water for Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas tested positive for six pharmaceuticals.
Three medications, including an antibiotic, were found in drinking water supplied to Tucson, Ariz.

none of these carbon household filters (ie. brita) are effective at removing the chemicals and toxins you are concerned about. they just use carbon to neutralize the taste of your tap water.
if you are seriously freaked about contaminated tap water, a reverse osmosis system is pretty much your only option.

if you're in the US, "examine whether contaminants in your water supply met two standards: the legal limits established by the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the typically stricter health guidelines."
(it's in the small left column)
Yup, I'm definitely going to have to look for a way to purify my drinking water.

Go pick up a bottled water or toothpaste, check out the fluoride ingredient. Then walk over to the pest control aisle and pick up the rat poison.
Thats right, fluoride is used to kill rats.
Nazi Germany used Fluoridated water to keep the jews calm in the prison camps.
one of the few bottle water that does not contain flouride is Ozarka. Right now they pull it out of the ground and bottle it.
Check out the 'baby' water, now with fluoride!
More people should be informed.

To my knowledge there is no WATER FILTER that will remove fluoride.
Not even the #$%#$ on the Alex Jones website.

I drink San Francisco tap water. Tastes pretty good to me. We used a Brita filter for a while, but it kept growing mold so we threw it out.
