Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

How come theres no flouride in any of the most popular brands of bottled water? Just no consumer demand?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

None of them advertise as being fluoridated.

Many of them are, however, "From the municipal water supply of [nearby city]", and that municipal water supply will have fluoridated.

FWIW, the FDA does have regulations that apply to fluoride levels in bottled water, similar to municipal water. So there may or may not be a certain level of fluoride present, if at all. www.fda.gov/food/hfp-con...
