It is actually more common than most people realize. This means I have to bring my own specially filtered water with me wherever I go. I have to read labels carefully as not all “purified” waters filter out fluoride. If I ever forget to bring my own water to work, I have nothing to drink and my job does not allow me the chance to run out and buy a bottle of water. That makes for a long and exhausting day. I have only forgotten once! Fluoride is added to orange juice and other products now including many waters offered in the baby aisle at the store. It is also found naturally in some spring water sources. I have to buy expessive toothpaste and had to purchase an expensive home water filter. I feel the need for added fluoride to our water systems is not longer necessary due to the fact it can be found in so many other sources.
