Is fluoride a desirable mineral?

Here's an article on 10 Things you Need to Know about Flouride: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/04/30/water-fluoridation-facts.aspx. Personally, it makes me angry that it is added to our drinking water without our consent.

This is a question that really has a yes and no answer. Adding Fluoride to water is a very controversial subject, with educated people on both sides of the issue. Years ago children did not get enough fluoride so cities started adding it to their water to improve dental issues. Nowadays some cities have stopped adding fluoride and Almost all toothpaste has fluoride in it. Here is a medical paper on the issue of fluoridated water: http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/oral-care/procedures/fluoride.htm. A simple answer by laypeople is not sufficient. It is something worth researching to see how it can affect you. Good luck. This is a question that really has a yes and no answer.

3M Lab Results shows 0.36 ppm of FLUORIDE remaining in the water filtered through PF-2 "fluoride" filters. Being that fluoride is a HIGHLY toxin poison ANY fluoride is too much for me to ingest, so no they are NOT effective. "The fluoride concentration result for the sample you submitted is listed above. This result was obtained using state-of-the-art equipment for accuracy. The method of testing is the fluoride ion selective electrode." (3M)

Pretty sure the only way to remove fluoride is through reverse osmosis. The Seychelle filters claim to this...but so far have failed independent testing.

dear fraugher, I'm not sure of what minerals you are asking about. the reason I bought the mini classic ct was to reduce the amount of fluoride in my life and my four cats lives. I have been using my mini classic ct everyday for a year and a half and I have not experienced a single problem.

I haven't heard that. The reason I bought it is because it apparently contains quality minerals. It would be interesting to know, though.

!No fluoride, the ingredients r as follows:precipitated calcium carbonate, sorbitol, aqua, glycerine, hydrated silica, sodium laurel sulphate, flavour, sodium silicate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, carrageenan, sodium saccharin, methylparaben,propylaraben, neem extract,sodium monofluoro phosphate, sodium dihydrgen phosphate, tea tree oil ci, 191940, city 420090, natural n nature derived ingredients

The short answer is yes, it does. I believe topical fluoride is helpful & good. There are people who don't like fluoridated toothpastes, and some manufacturers have responded by offering no fluoride versions. What baffles me is: do people know many city water (tap water) contain added fluoride that we have no choice but to ingest the fluoride, without going through installing a reverse osmosis system which removes good minerals as well? With topical fluoride one could at least rinse most if it off easily.

I'm not sure , but this is a great mineral . I can already tell a difference . I couldn't tell a difference in the way I feel on other minerals.

I would say yes because it is chauked full of minerals but since Im not the manufacturer, I am not 100% of that.

You absolutely need to do more research on that -- and I would start by asking Pelican. They do make a filtration system for fluoride removal, but that's a pricier whole-house system. The only other method that I know of for fluoride removal is reverse osmosis, which isn't impossible but looks like a much more sophisticated process than regular filtration.

chlorine, yes. fluoride, only with the separate elements for such purpose. They're sometimes included when buying online, or just buy separately

MSD sheet does not list fluoride. I have seen nothing to indicate it is present. Fluoride can be serious if ingested in larger amounts. CET says ingestion is ok although the sorbitol can act as a laxative. Best to call the company directly. My dogs get enough fluoride in their water and their decay susceptibility is virtually zero.

I am not sure I understand your question. I have tested numerous liquid samples for fluoride. It is my understanding this meter tests for the fluoride ion: not a chemical but an ion.

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

The standard filters (black ones) do not filter fluoride. They sell an additional filter called a "PF-2" filter that catches fluoride and arsenic. They are additional in that the additional filters attach to the lower part of the standard filter and work together at the same time. The Berkey I bought included the additional filters, but of course, at an additional price. I think they're something like $40.

Are you sure you want to remove fluoride? A friend of mine in the 1980s was a dentist. He had financial problems because the fluoridation of water reduced their cavities.

No, the Multipure system does not address fluoride. No carbon block filter will remove fluoride, so we would recommend reverse osmosis.
