Like how you could choose to go buy distilled water or other fluoride free water if you really cared enough? So we agree it's not actually a problem? Cool.
i already do that. i'm not agreeing with shit. read the post article again. it IS a problem
As is drinking distilled water exclusively. Google it.
Yeah so offering distilled water as an alternative isn’t so great eh?
It isn't. Regularly drinking distilled water will cause you problems. Because the water has no mineral content, it collects minerals from you, which over time will leave you mineral deficient.
It isn't healthy.
The water in my community has poison added to it by my local government. It's a poison so heinous its usage is banned in war. It affects the clarity and taste of the water. No matter how many letters I write they are totally unwilling to stop chlorinating the water. It's outrageous!
The water in my community also has a dangerous chemical added to it. it is found in all of our food, accumulating in our bodies. In world war one it was a large risk for soldiers as it could cause a disease that makes your limbs start to rot away. Many buildings have to be dismantled because of exposure to it. In humans it has been shown to cause swelling of cells possibly even killing them and also asphyxiation. It has not only directly caused countless deaths but research has found it in bodies of every single dead human.
They are adding water to our water.
Thank you for facing these idiots
thanks for the thanks! gotta love the old conventional "wisdom" of the crowd
