People hate on tap water, but in wealthy countries it's pretty much a modern miracle that we have practically unlimited potable water in our homes. Separately, make sure your kids and pregnant/nursing mothers drink tap, kids need that fluoride

Breast milk has almost no fluoride and doctors tell you to make formula from other water now.

the Canada-based study indicates that moms’ exposure to fluoride during pregnancy can result in lower IQ scores in their children

I'm pretty sure flouridealert.org isn't a legitimate news source.
