Have you read this article about lead contamination in MA? Lead is one of them in the water. You will be very surprised to see how our tap water is contaminated. After trying out many water filtering system, I finally settled down to this model 2 years ago -> Aqua True is my choice. Very easy to assemble the countertop model. This water filter is one of the best to filter all heavy metals and “fluoride”. The best part is you can change the filter once a year. I switched the filter in 20 months. I use at home and bring to my clinic. It does taste great. My husband makes fun of me bringing my water bottle (canteen) filled with Aqua True water. Thre is no choice but purchase a bottle of water when you are traveling but I try my best when I am at home and the clinic. Why is fluoride bad for you? Remember the chemistry periodic table #17? Bromine, Fluoride, Chlorine, Astatine, and Iodine. Bromine is in bread (Iodine was in bread until 1980 but it was changed to bromide to keep the longer shelf live), Fluoride is toothpaste and water, Chlorine in water and we all do not eat seaweed enough. What is going to happen if this imbalance continues? Your thyroid started to suffer and hypo, hyperthyroidism or Hashimoto’s autoimmune disease are the result. You can shop around online but there are no many filtering systems to filter fluoride. Berkey is another good one I recommend. This was one of the best so far after using easily ten different water filtering systems.
