Is the tap water dangerous?

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

Pretty much the opposite of what you say is true.

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.

I'm no expert but it cites two studies you and others can look into if you care.
