Is the water fluoridated in Prescott Valley? (2013, credit)

[kpt6]

I'm wondering. Where would I even find current information to answer my question?

Also if it is, does anyone have recommendations for a filter or something to filter that crap out?

Thank you!

If you search My Water's Fluoride, a site from the CDC, it will tell you state by state and county by county what water systems add fluoride. It appears the water in Prescott Valley does not receive added fluoride but, contains a natural amount of fluoride in it. Rest easy or run for the hills. Your choice. Good luck.

the threat of fluoride was thoroughly discredited decades ago....

Mild forms of Fluorosis are very common The CDC and ADA have changed their stance on infants/children's intake of fluoride to no younger that 2 years old. Aside from any physical threat fluoride may present, there is the ethical issue of forced medication by the state.

Yeah, that's a biggie. Some water has fluoride put into it without notice, just to avoid the uproar that would result if it were known.

If you move to the desert, and you use well water, expect to find all kinds of naturally occurring minerals including fluoride. You may even find arsenic in your water. If you don't want naturally fluoridated water, I would suggest finding some place else to live.

BTW fluoridated water was done to promote strong teeth in children. By law the use of fluoride is regulated to help prevent getting too much of this needed mineral.

I guess it is what you believe. Many people trust whatever the government tells them, and labels anyone who doesn't a conspiracy theorist and post little pictures like the above ridiculing them. Kind of the like conspiracy theorist telling us the government has been spying on them for years, the same statist types that post the cutsey little picture above I'm sure would have SWORN that the spying claims were not true, and if true it was for our own good without question...Oh yeah, recent Harvard study says fluoride bad, harvard fluoride study - Google Search and this study isn't the only one. You also don't have to move, you just have to filter the fluoride. Me I don't worry about it too much because most of the fruits and vegetables are watered with fluoridated water and I bet it concentrates. Fluoride is in a lot and very hard to avoid. I'd worry more about kids exposure than adults. Just always remember: Don't question, just be happy!

All of our drinking water goes through a Berkey filter, for several reasons. It makes the water so pure that even melted ice cubes in a drink do not make that unpleasant taste.

I've heard good things about the Berkey systems, but boy are they are pricey! And the replacement filters.... fuhgeddaboudit!
