Does British tap water contain fluoride?

Question

if so is there a way to filter it out and can mineral water be trusted?

Answer 1

Is fluoride in my water supply?

Answer:

Possibly. However, only a few places (Hartlepool in the North East of England , and parts of Essex) have enough natural fluoride to benefit dental health. Elsewhere it is added to only around 10 percent of the UK population's water supply - mainly in the West Midlands and the North East. Your water supplier will be able to tell you whether your water supply is fluoridated. The amount of fluoride in the water will vary depending on which area you live in. Fluoride is also naturally present in foods and drinks such as fish and tea, and some countries add fluoride to their table salt and milk instead of fluoridating the water supplies. One cup of tea can contain between 0.3mg and 0.5mg of fluoride, and if you drink it with milk your teeth will also benefit from the calcium. It is best to drink tea without sugar to reduce the risk of dental decay further.

Answer 4

I use a filter jug, changing cartridges every couple of months. Before filter jugs were manufactured I used to boil tap water and leave it to cool for drinking. It's easier now. I keep one in the fridge it fits inside the fridge door. There are a lot of mineral waters, all fine, some of the british mineral waters are better than evian. I used to like badot when on my travels. But filtered tap water suits me fine.
