The What, Why and How of Fluoride Removal

Fluoride is one of the most common chemicals in modern life, and is an entrenched part of the water supply in a long list of communities. What many people don’t know is that fluoride is not the super safe additive some have made it out to be, and can in fact be very harmful to your health. We’ll tell you why that is and what you can do about it.

In 1936 the Journal of the American Dental Association said that fluoride at a 1 part per million concentration is as toxic as lead and arsenic. An editorial in the same publication in October of 1944 said, “Drinking water containing as little as 1.2 ppm fluoride will cause developmental disturbances. We cannot run the risk of producing such serious systemic disturbances. The potentialities for harm outweigh those for good.”

Two of the most effective methods of purifying water are reverse osmosis and distillation. What remains after these processes is pure H2O. There is neither toxins, nor beneficial minerals lingering. The body receives more than 95% of its needed minerals from food. In general, the benefit of having pure water to drink far outweighs the minor amount of minerals lost through these processes.

Pressure Turns Osmosis Into Reverse Osmosis

It is easier to understand how reverse osmosis works if one first comprehends the process of osmosis. Reverse osmosis isn’t really about causing osmosis to do an about face. In reality the two are related in every way but one.

Water quality is one of the reasons Promolife originally began. In this newsletter we’ll tell you about the importance of water quality and the various water filters you can find on the market. The next three newsletters will tell you how you can go about obtaining clear, drinkable water.

Water filtration became an important part of life during the London cholera outbreak of 1854. The sand and carbon system employed at the time was not good enough to stop the tiny organisms that caused the disease.

Today, there are water filters for almost any purpose. The best ones remove gases, minerals, heavy metals, microorganisms, sewage and a list of other toxins.
