Isn’t fluoride in drinking water illegal in quite a few countries?
Anyway, I intentionally bought a home with a well and will be outfitting the home with a reverse osmosis system that also re-mineralizes the filtered water.
Fluoride is the least of my worries… all the byproducts that are in the water drinking supply (from city controlled water) is wild. Endocrine disruptors? No thanks, brah. Also don’t forget plastic bottled water is also a big no no. But that’s my opinion for my health.
Sweet! If this is at all obvious to anyone paying attention and I’ve been saying I expect it to happen for years, I’m putting “One of the worlds top scientists” on my resume.
Ok so seems clear to me there’s no real harm, but is there alleged benefit for adults? I’ve never had to rely on a municipal well so as a kid I had fluoride treatments and used fluoridated paste, but always thought it was just for kids. Is there benefit for me as a 40yo (with no cavities if it matters)?
Fluoride in water is the reason you have no cavities and will continue to have few to no cavities. Centuries ago you’d be lucky to have your teeth, the toothpaste definitely helps but the fluoride in water probably has a bigger impact on society overall
There are adult benefits, yes. Fluoride re-mineralises teeth (in contrast to cavities) to a super-physiological state. Meaning: If tooth enamel is in the beginnings of a cavity state fluoride will fight that process and possibly repair the enamel to a state stronger than before.
Charged Lemonade tasted like crap anyway. Good riddance.
Panera’s regular Lemonade and regular sweetened Green Tea tastes great. So I’m still overall happy with their drink options. But whoever the chef was who created this “Charged Lemonade” stuff needs to be fired.
I am once again saying: Why not hydroxyapitite? A form of calcium, same as our teeth/bones. It even has water management uses because it adsorbs other stuff like fluoride and lead, which actually makes finding info about its addition to water for the purpose of teeth health difficult.
Though it seems like hydroxyapatite water would also make fluoride toothpaste even more effective.
The mineral ions introduced during remineralisation restore the structure of the hydroxyapatite crystals. If fluoride ions are present during the remineralisation, through water fluoridation or the use of fluoride-containing toothpaste, the stronger and more acid-resistant fluorapatite crystals are formed instead of the hydroxyapatite crystals.
Couldn't hard water be described an issue of natural minerals being "not water soluble"? It's still going to be floating in the water, and I assume that hard water is a problem of excess and thus could be managed better. Maybe even the nano form, assuming that passes the safety checks (and guidelines for safe/effective concentrations can be established).
