Fluoride is actually more dangerous when absorbed through the skin and/or lungs because it enters the bloodstream more easily. It will bypass the gut where it binds with minerals from food. Fluoride rapidly robs the body of calcium because it is strongly attracted to calcium. Most municipal water will add an unnatural form of fluoride that contains sodium. It is over 80 times more toxic than naturally-occurring calcium fluoride. This endocrine disruptor that can affect your bones, brain, thyroid gland, pineal gland and even your blood sugar levels. The CDC and ADA Now Advise to Avoid Using Fluoride!
Showering and bathing in fluoridated water is worse than just drinking Fluoride. A warm shower will open pores allowing for higher rate of absorption of chemicals. The EPA have reports stating that children are at higher risk of absorbing chemicals from the bath for several reasons. They have a greater surface area to body weight ration than adults with developing bodies. They also enjoy long bath/play sessions.
Once you are aware of the negative impact of fluoride on your health—you will have to decide what to do about it. The most popular water filters — the inexpensive activated-carbon pitchers and tap-attachments sold under the brand names Brita and Pur — can’t remove fluoride. Boiling your water won’t help, as the fluoride does not evaporate like chlorine; as the volume of water decreases through boiling, the fluoride concentration actually goes up.
Fluoride is a challenge to remove because of the small particle size (atomic number 9). At this time, fluoride removal is limited to four main methods: Reverse Osmosis, Distillation, Activated Alumina, and BC-Carbon. These are the only methods recommended by the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and the WQA (Water Quality Association) for fluoride filtration.
Whole House Fluoride Removal is important for your health! If a filter does not state: Removes Fluoride, Don’t assume!
The ultimate solution to the fluoride problem is to stop Fluoridation! City Water Filter can install:
6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System
- The Activated Alumina Fluoride Filter can be added to the 6-stage reverse osmosis for effective fluoride removal for drinking water.
OR
Install a Fluoride Tank (2.0 cubic foot of activated alumina).
- The Fluoride tank is a customized feature to the Whole House Water Filtration System.
- The life expectancy of the system depends on fluoride levels and water usage.
- City Water filter is the only company in the field currently addressing the entire house.
- The Fluoride tank stands about 4′ high by 1′ in diameter
How to remove fluoride from your body: A study presented by the American Institute of Nutrition, concluded: “In summary, it can be stated that in intoxication with fluorine compounds, magnesium plays a protective role by countering and reducing the toxic effects of Fluoride.” (Cerklewski F L. Influence of dietary magnesium on fluoride bioavailability in the rat. American Institute of Nutrition). Magnesium follows a similar absorption path as Fluoride.
