"Did you know that nearly all of Europe used to add fluoride to their water supply, but after studying the issue more carefully, most of them decided to remove it?
Fluoridating drinking water for dental health is a swindle of massive proportions. Starting it off with a simple truth: that a natural form of fluoride (organic calcium phosphate) is part of the composition of your teeth, they were able to convince everyone that drinking toxic chemical fluoride compounds – the waste materials from fluoride-polluting industries – would be good for your teeth.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Fluoride is in fact a systemic POISON that:
•inactivates 62 different enzymes
•increases lead absorption
•increases the aging process
•increases the incidence of cancer and tumor growth
•disrupts your immune system
•lowers thyroid function
•causes genetic damage
•interrupts DNA repair-enzyme activity
•increases arthritis
•reduces IQ, and impairs learning and memory processes
Other sources of fluoride that you want to limit or eliminate to reduce your exposure include:
•Fluorophenyl-containing pharmaceutical drugs
•Toothpaste and mouthwash
•Food and beverages processed with fluoridated water
•Mechanically de-boned meat
•Pesticide residue on food
•Soy baby formulas
Doctor Mercola suggests that a reverse osmosis system will
remove floiride from your water . He also says that you absorb
toxins through your shower water.
Here is a link for one brand of home water filters.

You'll find whole house and countertop filters that can remove flouride . Also, shower filters that remove a lot of contaminants but the shower filters don't have the ability to remove all flouride. There are some shower filters that claim to remove 40% of the flouride. Just type in the search bar "Flouride-shower filters".
You can get toothpaste without flouride at http://www.vitacost.com/ .
I'm wishing you good health.
