Does anyone use a water filter pitcher or system? Which ones do you recommend?

[Anonymous No.12584774]

My dumbass friend has one because he thinks the microscopic amount of flouride in our tap water will somehow give him brain damage because is grandpa told him or some shit

[Anonymous No.12584789]

I use Brita just because it's the easiest to find. Pretty much all stores carry their filters. I live right by a water treatment plant but the water is still pretty hard. Helps remove any smell or taste.

I use some absurdly expensive MLM water ionizer thing. It helps my dad's acid reflux when nothing else has so I guess it's paid for itself by now. Wouldn't recommend it though cause it's just that fucking expensive. Before that we used to use Brita though.

Fluoride sucks. However tell your friend that he's retarded because no filter can filter out the fluoride. The only way to have fluoride-free water is distillation or collecting rainwater.

Anyways, the biggest threat in our public water supply is all the free estrogen from birth control pills. Also no filter can filter this out.

I use a PUR and it is pretty good as long as you replace the filters at the recommended time or after the recommended amount of use.

If you're a normalfag with shit taste buds who thinks spring/drinking water and purified/distilled water taste exactly the same, nothing.
If you haven't destroyed your mouth with cigarettes, try a Britta system.
If even that doesn't do it for you, considered either getting a reverse osmosis filter or buying distilled water in bulk. Your choice will be up to your wallet and how much good water means to you.

[Anonymous No.12585201]

Get a reverse osmosis system from amazon. $160. The hardest part about installing it is drilling a hole in your countertop, and you don't even have to do that if you don't want to.

It's like having bottled water on tap.

Many countries without fluoridated water have similar or lower frequency of cavities. The claim that fluoride helps dental health cannot be really proven. Fluoride is going to be known as snake oil in the coming decades.

You know there's plenty of fluoride in toothpaste, right? Or are you too much of a dweeb to brush your teeth.

[Anonymous No.12585587]

>>12585535
he never brushes his teeth so he needs the government to make it easier for him by putting Fluoride into water.

But seriously, toothpaste has like 1000% the daily need for fluoride. Adding it into water is overkill and makes little to no difference. Beyond the argument of whether fluoride is effective or not, it's just dumb.

>To explain a bit about fluoride removal, there are some really good and a few not-too-bad ways to go about it. The best technologies are reverse osmosis and distillation. Both remove fluoride handily. If you do not want the total treatment of a distiller or a reverse osmosis system, the third best thing is a simple filter with a cartridge containing activated alumina, the standard industry strategy for fluoride removal

[Anonymous No.12586736]

>>12586715
>standard industry strategy
Yeah, those conniving kikes which the industry is comprised of would never lie about the extent to which their so-called methods remove fluoride.

[Anonymous No.12586764]

>>12586715
1. Reverse Osmosis is not a perfect method to remove fluoride. Distillation is the only way.

2. Alumina has its own set of potential health risks, specifically its possible damage to the central nervous system. Alumina tends to stick to the nerves and not come out. We need more research on this material.

The fluoride they add is a neurotoxin as it's an industrial type (mostly a byproduct). Illegal in a fuckton of other countries. Natural fluoride is found in streams, which is good and fine. It's been shown that fluoride in toothpaste is worthless and actually harms teeth. The US cites a 1941 paper that was shown to be disproven. Any updated study you see from the US concerning fluoride is researched by a lair. Most US science is corrupted by industry (this is a fact and has been shown on many accounts).

Fluoride triggers your teeth to regenerate their enamel. It doesn't directly prevent shit - that much is true. But it strengthens your teeth's outer layer which is their primary defense against tooth decay.

Incidentally, GSK (the people the make Sensodyne among other things) are sitting on a toothpaste that's 20x more effective at regenerating teeth than fluoride. But that's all their doing. Sitting on it. Because their entire business would fall apart if teeth didn't decay anymore. Useless trivia for you.

Anon showed a graph with countries very different from one another (not similar, broad range). Why do you chalk that up to "external factors at work"? You don't have an argument. Do you think the researchers did not test the levels in the water for other contaminate levels? Yet, cherry picking if 126 or 1,000 countries aren't included, no matter how irrelevant. Damn shameful tactic. Common sense wins again.
