Why are you living with a nutcase?She buys gallons of water to wash her dishes in and will flip shit if you use tap water on her stuff. I am serious, she opens up a gallon and makes a thing of dishwater with it and will wash all of her dishes in it.

Better than cavities.
That seems to be the problem in parts of rural China. The geological conditions concentrate fluoride in the water supply system.Good reason to drink well water.
Some of the places they were looking at had high fluoride concentration because of contamination of water supplies because of coal burning.Multiple epidemiological studies of developmental fluoride neurotoxicity were conducted in China because of the high fluoride concentrations that are substantially above 1 mg/L in well water in many rural communities, although microbiologically safe water has been accessible to many rural households as a result of the recent 5-year plan (20012005) by the Chinese government.
What's the reasoning behind this? Did she grow up next to Chernobyl?

Both can be found in the report: http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/ehp.1104912.pdf
Some of the areas had 10 to 30 times the upper bound of fluoride concentration typically found in the US water supply (at least according to the paper).
Most bottled water (well, mineral, spring, filtered except for distilled) is fluoridated, whether organic or inorganically. The sodium fluoride added to most municipalities' water supply is sourced as a waste product of the aluminum industry, ALCOA.
Therefore I use a gravity-fed stainless steel Berkey filtering system with a black carbon filter and white PF-2 fluoride filter. The Crown Berkey holds around six-gallons or a week's worth of water for two. Scrub the black filters under cold running water -- every few weeks -- and they last an extremely long time.

I have extremely mild flourosis, only a few white spots, but it has still left my teeth fairly brittle, I've chipped many teeth in bar fights over the years.
I'd rather just brush my teeth properly.
edit: just to clarify, when i've chipped a tooth it's always been in an area affected by flourosis, not the healthy enamel.
This is the best solution if you want pure, unfluoridated water.
The majority of bottled water comes from a select few companies such as Nestle, and is taken from municipal sources. They repackage it under numerous names according to what region it will be sold in.
I didn't think your country flouridated water? Do you know how you got the flourosis? Quite honestly, I've never noticed people in the US having flourosis.
One thing to keep in mind with this study though is that it was conducted in China in areas of higher flouride levels. The dangers of flouride has always been talked about but I still haven't heard of a study that is able to show that the levels of flouride added to drinking water are high enough for these problems to occur. The US has been flouridating for entire lifetimes now but not every water source in the US is flouridated so I would expect there to be plenty of communities that can be cross examined to see if the flouridation caused any statistical problems.
no they don't flouridate the water, there's just plenty of it already present in our groundwater ( well within safety limits though).
I have no idea how I got flourosis, my dentist tells me that there are so many different sources that it's impossible to identify the culprit. I just know I have it, although people never notice it (it's a very, very mild case).
Great, another reason our roommate will find to ban us from washing her glasses with tap water and filling the fridge up with bottled water so that nobody can have food in there.
Huh....yeah, I wonder what she'd say about that whole regulations issue? Thankfully, we've got loads of regulations in this country to ensure that your tap water won't kill you or make you sick, which is something of a luxury to have, compared to most of the world's population.She just thinks she's healthier than the next person is all. She's a health nut and will spend all her time in the kitchen cooking shit from FoodNetwork and telling us about how we shouldn't eat red meat.

Has your friend never heard of a Brita filter?
