    I purchased one of those Propur gravity filters with the add'l filters that are supposed to be able to remove 95% of flouride. Very happy with it so far, even though sometimes flow rate is SLOW. One thing I've noticed is, that when I used to fill up my Nalgene in the morning with filtered water from the fridge, or a Brita, or even a Zerowater, if I didn't drink it all by 10am (hey, meetings sometimes...) I'd open it up and it would STINK. No longer happens with the Propur. Anecdotal, sure, but it makes me happy.

    Interesting. Is your Nalgene the plastic or metal?

    Even though they use the "good" plastic I stopped using mine and bought the nalgene stainless steel bottle. I love it.

    My home city, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, pop. about 1.1 million, added flouridation to the city water supply in the late 80s, following a referendum vote that passed in favour by about 50.1
    %. There were another two referendum votes over the next 20 years, and they ended up in favour of flouridation again by about the same margin.

    Finally, 3 years ago another referendum called for the flouridation plants to be shut down and removed, and it passed by about 55% of the vote, so finally the flouridation is gone here.

    Hand out free toothpaste to those who can't afford to buy it. Far cheaper than mass-medicating the entire city. Dosages are based on average water consumption - for someone who drinks 2x or 3x the deemed average, they were getting seriously overdosed!

    I have the BPA free plastic Nalgene, and I also have some stainless Sigg bottles. I'm thinking of moving toward glass for when I'm not hiking.
