There are more people in the US drinking fluoridated water than the rest of the world combined.”“I strongly encourage folks to avoid putting fluoride in their kids’ mouths.”“You invest now or you invest later.”“Bottled water is no better than your municipal supply, but also you’re getting additional exposure to plastics.”“For the majority of Americans, jumping into a detox is not advisable. The big concern is that when you detox, your body has to effectively eliminate those toxins. If you encourage the release of these toxicants, the body has to get them out. If you don’t do it in a safe, medically supervised way, these toxins can be redistributed to more dangerous areas of your body, like the brain or heart, and you can actually do more damage.”Resources mentioned in this episode:National Testing Laboratories: https://watercheck.com/EWG Tap Water Database: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/PFAS Project: https://pfasproject.com/C8 Science Panel: http://c8sciencepanel.org/index.htmlDartmouth Well Water: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/toxmetal/Pure Effect Water Filters: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=HealthStrongIM
