I use a filter on my tap water. I sure don't want my water coming from some bottle produced in China, thank you. Oh and who knows how far that bottled water travelled on some ship in the sun and whatever goes on. Also, lets face it. The area that the water problem is in, is like a third world country. Those red states down there are a mess to say the least.
I buy my bottled water from Scotland and hopefully I know where it comes from.... but sadly its in plastic bottles where it can get into the water... fluoride should never be in any drinking water supply..

I have a whole house filter with a carbon element and a Britta filter at the kitchen sink. I have been using filters for a number of years now even had a reverse osmosis filter in one home .
From town to town the water is different ,even with in the same town, I live now, the water is different depending on where your getting it from with in only a mile or so.
I have even cautioned resturants to be providing filtered water, and not strait from the tap. If it doesn't taste right, I go some where else .my life, my money .
Not “all” filtering systems for homes are able to remove chemicals for drinking, cooking or bathing. And who knows how safe some bottled water is in the “plastic” bottles that might have been in stored or shipped in hot places. Chemicals leach from plastic into the water when at high temperatures. Also some soft drinks in aluminum cans stored or shipped in hot locations can have issues of concern when drinking.
That's right, but fluoride isn't a disinfectant for water systems. The original post was about a virulent amoeba causing deaths. Fluoride wouldn't do anything for that. Chlorine would.
You brought up fluoridation. I don't know why unless you meant chlorination and used the wrong word. Or were trying to get a conspiracy discussion going.
I didn't say flouride caused the problem in Louisiana or that it could prevent it. I'm simply raising a point about what is in our drinking water as part of the discussion. Flouride was introduced into drinking water as a waste product from the aluminum factories. It was a cheap way to discard the toxic byproduct. There is no proof that it benefits your health in any way, yet it is still introduced into our water supply. Not sure why you're defending flouridation or suggesting a conspiracy theory.

Yes. To my understanding flouride only benefits the teeth of young children. Why we all need it is beyond my understanding.
