I started buying natural spring bottled water and began to avoid products containing fluoridated water.
Unless made at home with uncontaminated water, this included avoiding:
- Tea - contains fluoride naturally
- Coffee, Cappuccino - at cafes, with clients or friends, at restaurants, bars or social venues
- Soup - from the supermarket, from cafes, in restaurants, with friends or at social venues
- Rice - a cup of rice is cooked in two cups of water
- Coca-Cola or Pepsi Cola
- Lemonade, Lemon Squash etc
- Alcoholic spirits - most mixes contain fluoride
- Reconstituted juices, eg, orange, mango, tomato
- Vegetable/chicken/beef stocks added to home made soups, casseroles etc
- Canned Fruit in Liquids
- Beer including all foreign beers because these are reconstituted using fluoridated water
After talking to a wine grower in South Australia,
the wines from this region are not made with fluoridated water so I was extremely grateful for this.
No more soups at restaurants
No more tea at cafes
Carbon Filtered Rain Water
In November 2008, my husband installed a rain water tank
with a good quality carbon filter connected to it which became our primary source of
water for drinking and cooking. We haven't connected the rain water tank to the house so
we fill a couple of 10 litre water containers every 3 or 4 days.
For home made soup, rice, casseroles, stews and boiling vegetables etc we use filtered rain water.
We fill the jug with filtered rain water for tea and coffee.
Our pets also only drink filtered rain water.
Fluoride Free Toothpaste
After scouring supermarkets for fluoride free toothpaste I finally found some at our local chemist. I also
opt for toothpaste that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate because this is also a poison added to products
to make them frothy such as soaps and shampoos.
Fluoride Free Dental Treatments
My dentist and dental hygienist are both sceptical however they do respect my
wishes and use treatments that do not contain fluoride. I take my own water. They also remind me I am
at greater risk of tooth decay. My teeth are fine.
Anyway, isn't fluoride only supposed to be effective for children's teeth?
