Non-BPA/Non-Fluroidated Water Bottles?

[thirdwar]

Anybody know what brand has Non-BPA plastic, and isn't fluoridated? I want to get healthier water bottles then ice mountain, because their plastic has BPA in it, but I'm not sure which brand has both qualities.

i have a reverse osmosis filter in my house and drink out of glass when I can.

That might be a better option.

The best option is to filter/distill your own water and use a reusable water bottle rather than buying bottle water, which has terrible a ecological impact (See movie Flow: For Love of Water for more). Then you don't have to worry about fluoride or whatever.

I use a stainless steel water bottle which has a BPA-free plastic cap. I think kleen kanteen (sp) or a similar company makes water bottles from all metal, with no plastic used. They probably use natural rubber to seal it or something.

I've seen glass water bottles with natural rubber seals, which are almost completely inert, but I'd be scared of breaking it.

What water filter are you using to filter fluoride? Every single one that I looked at in the store specifically said it kept fluoride in because it's so great for you, lol.

It may not matter if the plastic is BPA-free. There are still other chemicals in the plastic that may be just as harmful, but haven't been identified yet.

Since bottled water is so poorly regulated, you never know where the water came from or what's been done to it.

Just filter your own water and use a stainless steel water bottle. Glass is still the best material to use, but of course it breaks.

As for fluoride, it's usually not mentioned because the government considers it a health benefit! ARGHH!

I use a triple under-the-counter filter that has a separate fluoride unit: Undersink Water Filter With Three Cartridges and Fluoride Removal
Most water filters don't filter out fluoride because it adds to the cost significantly and fluoride is not recognized as a toxin, although it's the second most deadly substance on earth, next to mercury.

I use a distiller, but R/O or what stanmrak mentioned are just as effective.
