Portland area cities were actually some of the first major metropolitan cities to pass the torch on fluoridation.I agree Fluoride ain't cool...chlorine is no bueno?
This is the water we purchase

they claim no fluoride and no chlorine
Tap water where I am has no fluoride and oregon only has 23% fluoridated water...but we use Bottled for drinking and cooking because we have some old ass pipes. Gonna sell this house as soon as it is fully paid off(soon) so not gonna redo the pipes....I do agree filtering is good, but it can take out the minerals I think...I actually add a pinch of himalayan sea salt to all the water that I drink so I get the minerals back in it.
I know this is separate topic from thread but I wanted to respond
definitely will look into Big Berkely, always good to have a way to filter H20
Interesting they're so well-known for being activists; I can't imagine what would happen if they were actually fed correct information.
I have a guy in a fireworks club from the water department down there, he specializes in compounds for color effects etc. He's been there over 30 years & even he's brainwashed.
As far as Big Berkey/minerals, as long as you don't microwave it, there is a list on the compounds/ionized particles etc. that get's filtered by each filter.
A cool item they have is a travel Berkey, which I'm taking with me to Israel next month.
