Fluoride was put in the water to reduce dental cavities in the early 1900s. As a dentist, I do not think that putting fluoride in the water is a good way to prevent cavities. Cavities are entirely preventable through diet and hygiene. Fluoride needs to have a longer “contact time” with the teeth to support remineralization. Fluoride is not meant to be ingested. I don’t understand the logic behind (even insignificantly*) poisoning the entire population on the basis of (also insignificantly*) preventing dental cavities that - not the entire population - struggles with.
Wow! A dentist that actually has a clue about fluoride. Awesome!
To believe that the government cares about cavities so much that they go through the added expense to add fluoride to our water is pretty silly if you think about it.
Fluoride is a byproduct of processes and is easily disposed of by adding it to our water in the name of "caring for your health"
How about they just sanitize it and leave it at that. I don't need a bunch of chemicals added.
I'll tell you the brief history factory during the industrial revolution dump flouide into rivers contaminating the water so ppl got sick etc but they found out fluoride could prevent cavities then they advertised it as a good thing etc...

Conspiracy theorists talked about flouride so much back in the day and we are only aware of it now, I remember hearing about it in my teens 20+ years ago. Absolutely wild
The “Conspiracy Theorists,” always turn out to right on some level eventually.
I first heard about it in Dr. Strangelove. Watched it in college in the early 2000s and I was like; is that crazy guy for real?

Hello, Biochemist here. I noticed there's a little mistake in the video regarding the effect of calcium and magnesium on the hydrogen ion concentration in tap water. Adding calcium and magnesium to tap water does NOT INCREASE the hydrogen ion concentration, but rather reduces it through a process called neutralization. Calcium and magnesium ions can even react with excess hydrogen ions to form insoluble compounds, which in turn reduces the acidity of the water and increases its pH. Additionally, the introduction of charged species such as calcium and magnesium can decrease the activity of hydrogen ions in solution, which also reduces the acidity of the solution. Therefore, calcium and magnesium in tap water reduces its acidity, not increase it. A little mixup with the terms. Hope this helps to clarify any confusion!
Thank you, I work in Water treatment, he acts like we don't track DBPs, and fluoride, he conflating water all over the world with water in the US, the EPA provides guidelines or rules that we have to follow and we also have to provide the Public with a CCR that let's them know what the characteristics of their tap water..
@@mjsup1 it does feel sensationalized the way it was presented. I’d say there should have been equal time spent explaining the benefits of what we are doing in the U.S. rather than highlighting concerns.
But do you agree is better to drink higher ph water or no
@@Rau-AR PH isn't as important as the essential minerals in water. It is the Alkalinity along with the Hardness of the water is what determines what pH is stable vs corrosive or scaling. If you have a low pH that is corrosive then it will rob your body to stabilize itself that's why some bottled water is really good for you. Typically 7 is neutral anything above 7 is basic and below is acidic, but it depends on the Alkalinity (buffer capacity to resist acid) and the Hardness which is mostly made up of Magnesium and Calcium, chlorides and sulfates also. So your water can be corrosive at an 8 pH.
@@mjsup1 I'm also a water treatment Operator and we use chloramines in order to reduce DBPs and other mitigation procedures. We monitor DBP and fluoride closely as well.
Unsuprisingly, the zip codes with the highest crime and violence also are the zipcodes witht the highest incident of Lead.
Hmm
High crime = low income = less funding for infrastructure upkeep. Don't confuse the cause with the effect.
Blacks who live in high crime zipcodes are prone to violence from the get go (I'd refer everyone to the book "Don't Make the Brown Kids Angry) the lead in the water supply likely isn't substantially different from what they would be exposed to back in their homelands.
@@MapleBar777 That's surely part of it but if you look at crime statistics before and after they banned lead in gasoline it's pretty compelling evidence of a connection between lead exposure and violence/criminal tendencies. So drinking it... You can imagine the effects they might have.
The water alex jones talked about makes the least criminal population?

So happy you are talking about this. I was enrolled in a certificate course regarding water system operations in California and was astonished at the acceptable levels of toxic materials within the water transport and storage systems.
Wait, I'm a class A water operator, and the heavy metals limit for decades has been ZERO, ESPECIALLY FOR LEAD AND COPPER.
I submit a sample that's over 0.0 parts per TRILLION of lead that requires a whole review and mitigation process, and I'm in Missouri, I'd guess CA is FAR more stringent. For bottled water it's the same as food, it's FDA approved. Bottled water has the same standards as hot dogs. My tap water at it's absolute worst illegal level of turbidity is 16x cleaner that bottled water can be.
Tap reg is 0.3ntu. bottled water limit is 5 ntu. Five.
Anything over 0.3 can hold pathogens.

Nonsense. Government regulated public goods, like drinking water, are insanely thoroughly monitored
@@RobertMorganis this purified water or spring water?
I had to go and actually check with my water supplier (that supplies the whole community with water) about the quality of our water because of this! 😆. I live in Sweden and as far as I know we have great water. But I wasn't sure about these things so I asked them. But I was right! We get all our water straight from an underground source without any type of cleaning or chloride. Just clean water! That is why we never buy bottled water, because that is way worse. We have better water on the tap! If I want it sparkled I just add some. 😄
Oh really? I also live in Sweden, specifically Skåne, Did you get a full water analaysis of your home? And what was the result of the flouride ? Any other components?
@@fantasi4037 She probably live in a small town if that´s really true because in the cities that doesn´t happen at all, the hormone levels from all Prego pills goes straight out and can´t be cleaned.
@@fantasi4037 Yes, it's taken directly from the underwater source without any additives. Just clean water! I live in Sundsvall.
ves. I
I have heard Sweden has much better tap water vs the US.
Same here in Kentucky!
Straight out of the ground.
You made some good original points that I do not see from other sources. Too much info on the web is not original content, but just an echo and rehash of the same information.
You avoided the curse of knowledge and explained your points in a way that can be understood by someone that is not knowledgeable about water treatment. Unlike people that use uncommon terms, phrases, and acronyms to fake a higher level of smartness.
Good video.
Really grateful for having great tap water here in Iceland, nobody drinks bottled water here but I believe the tap water is low in minerals. I've noticed that egg shells are thinner and not as strong as in most other places maybe because of the lack of minerals in the water. No need to filter the tap water, the porous lava in the ground naturally takes care of it :)
Yes you are lucky! Some places in US have great ground water but a lot is now polluted.
@@jayv2447 Yes unfortunately many places are getting polluted, people should be very careful about this resource because it is so essential for a good quality of live and good health.
The farms may not be supplementing the chickens. After the pandemic i saw a decline in the quality of eggs in italy and the shells got thinner as economic problems led to the loss of quality in many things. I used to supplement my chickens with crushed oyster shells. The eggs shells were so hard.
So so Fortunate 🙏
How often are the water pipes looked at, replaced, etc?
In Switzerland here, just at the feet of the mountains where I live, I must believe that our tap water is excellent and does not suffer from these issues - at all.
And lower in deuterium too. You're very fortunate!
i have a quadruple filter with a separate reverse osmosis tank. I also have a shower filter. I dont trust my government at all to take care of such things.
@@BenMJay lil bro flexing his filter lol
@@xxxbestplayer95xxx17 I thought about running my water through a separate Brita filter after that. You know almost all the water pipes leading to houses in America are lead, right? They have since ran chemicals through them to coat the pipes, to make them less toxic, but you going to trust them? I also filter my shower water. You want to call that “flexing” fine. I call it not being a dumb fuck.
Not necessarily, check if there was any mining activity in the area in the past.
If so there might be a change of cadmium, aluminum, arsenic contamination. Even tiny levels have impact on health.
if you live in an older home one thing to be wary of is epoxy pipe lining. to save costs instead of replacing old pipes they've sometimes been coated, which might still be fine for sewer pipes but in water lines that epoxy coating is shown to be a significant source of contaminants and BPA
In Dryden Ontario Canada, my little town vetoed the fluoridation of our towns water. Im pretty stoked ngl.
''All tap water contains things that are bad for the biology of our cells''
I'm a civil engineer (we are the professionals responsible for identifying useful water sources, extracting the water, purifying and distributing it). ALL WATER contains things that are bad for the biology of our cells. Not just tap water, ALL water. The issue is the concentrations. The EPA, for example, sets maximum concentrations of heavy metals and all kinds of compounds that have been found to be dangerous or detrimental for humans (and some cases where no evidence was found but ''better safe than sorry'' rule was applied). Most countries, even shitty ones like my own, follow the same guidelines that all of the developed world follows, and it's basically the same for tap water and mineral bottled water. You can google your favorite bottled water and look for example how much arsenic it has (spoiler alert, it's more than 0 mg). Yes, even your expensive bottled water has arsenic.
Basically, this is kind of true and kind of bullshit. There's no reason to panic about tap water unless you specifically live in a country with no regulations, which I honestly don't think there can be many of those outside certain regions in Africa.
Yes but less is better, so why not try to get to zero and remineralize? Id rather filter out the ssri, birth control, microplastic, endocrine disrupters as much as I can. Even if its 3x less than the regulations allow, its worth it to me.

Can you reccomend a filter ?
Two years ago I bought a system called Nuvia that filter my water and came with a reverse osmosis system to have safe drinking water. I just asked a third party to check my water and all seems amazingly good. It’s not a cheap system no doubt but I gotta say that since I have that system my hair stop falling. I’ve been fighting with my inexplicable hair loss and it was shocking to realized it was the water so this was a plus . I highly recommend to get home water tested.
So i have ro to and it tests very acidic why would that be?
You need a safe water treatment system that works for you. Sometimes it's unavoidable and you have to pay more than you would like. I'm glad you had yours 3rd party test and it is doing it’s job.
Is it a water softener?
@@wefsux that's because ro removes pretty much everything from water including "ph buffers" like Ca and Mg. Just by exposure to air (CO2) ro water will become more and more acidic.
This is largely simplified.
That being said you can't simply add certain elements back in e.g. you can't just add Mg to get to the levels mentioned in the video because Mg doesn't exist on it's own. You'd be adding something like magnesium sulfate. You don't want that.
So maybe use a different filtering method. Or keep using ro and A add something like sodium carbonate / baking soda (watch out for sodium!) or B get an ionizer and/or a remineralization cartridge for your ro system.
in which region do you live?
best thing I ever did was install a 3-stage whole house water filtration system in my home. made a world of difference in the taste
few questions, was that easy to do, because its the whole house do you have to change the filter regularly
Have you experienced any health benefits?
Conspiracy theorists don't naturally orient toward conspiracy theories. They've simply overcome their innate bias against conspiracy theories.
Oddly enough, my parents, uncle, and grandparents owned a water shop. I worked at 2 of them. First we'd sediment filter it, ozonate it, carbon filter it, then either reverse osmosis or distill it.
I've been kinduva water snob my whole life. I wasn't obnoxious or anything, but I just never drank tap (unless i was dying of thirst). I could always taste the difference.
You're very blessed
You recommend any shower head filters? I have a few r/o filters that I drink from.
@billteller7011 nope. As big as I am on drinking purified water, I haven't put too much thought in the water that goes on my skin. I definitely should though.
@@michaelfranciotti3900 think you could give us a follow up being that you seem.more knowledgeable in this department. Thanks for the quick response.
@@michaelfranciotti3900 what type of filter system do you recommend. If you would say some specs so that I can find a similar one in Europe that would be awesome thanks!
In America, all water purveyors are required to issue an annual water quality report.
Also, high levels of natural fluoride are not typical. Added fluoride, usually with hydofluorocylic acid, is an unfortunate thing in many systems though.
I'm so happy to have a well.
The water has a slight odor, but was checked regularly for my late wife's health, and always checked fine.
Sorry for your loss. But the wording (timing) of your last sentence jarred me a bit…
Test it for traces of cadmium, lead, aluminum, arsenic, PCB, plastics, pesticides, bacteria contend, minerals.
Yep, I'm on a well out here in Western NC and I love it. No odor whatsoever here.
The definition of water is a liquid which is transparent, odorless and colorless. A slight odor?
Glad I drink highly tested, barely filtered mountain water from my tap up in Canada. I helped them pull a sample from the well 1km from my house, couldnt be happier with the results.
As living In burnaby bc
Having strong chlorine ,I noticed that washing dishes smelled so strong .
Hopefully people noticed.
Good to hear this coming from Huberman. I’ve been using a “Zerowater” filter for years. It filters all fluoride out. I tell people this and they look at me like I’m crazy
wow looking at zerowater filters and they look alright
A mainline scientific voice signalling that fluoride in tap water in bad? I love it. Thank you.
But NOT telling you that its distilled water is what's best for us now. Add minerals. He is on the payroll I promise
It's unfortunate how many people still associate this topic with baseless conspiracy theories.
@@tardwrangler do the work. Then talk
@@tardwrangler What's the conspiracy theory here? That water fluoridation is intentional to dumb down the masses? Does seem largely unsubstantiated. I think the simpler explanation is that there's a lot of flouride/flourine generated by various industrial processes, and naive scientists and politicians saw an easy way to get rid of it in a way that they possibly thought was beneficial for people at large. But that may be a little too generous, quite honestly.
@@tardwrangler No one listens to the "because". "Fluoride is bad for you *because* the gubmint is trying to feminize your mind and make you docile." vs "Fluoride is bad for you *because* it seems to mess with your body's endocrine system."
They need to put Tylenol in water too so people don’t get headaches. And maybe some lotion so people don’t get dry skin. That’s similar to the mentality of drinking fluoride. It’s one thing to apply it to teeth and then rinse it out but to drink it internally is like drinking lotion to keep your skin from getting dry.
It is part of the nanny state approach: people won’t take care of themselves, so we will do it for them. Of course that leads to all sorts of unintended consequences.
Bingo! You've got it!
"It depends" is the right answer I guess. My dad and also my uncle were working for many many years in a very modern water facility in Germany. They and our whole family were always drinking tap water at home without the use of any filter, because they knew better than anyone else how good the water quality in our region really was.
Now I live in the US and sadly noticed that I would not drink tap water without a filter on daily base. Just the taste of the water is often bad and they have to put a lot of chemicals in there to make it "safe". Sure this depends also on your region, but in general tap water quality here requires a filter in my opinion. At least in my area.
However, I am super thankful that the HOA of our high rise building decided to buy an idustrial grade water filter system which gets checked by a lab frequently. So many people who live here are able to fill up their water containers there instead of buying water in the super market. Also all water used in the gym comes from that source as well. Now we are able to reduce plastic trash, save money and get a better water quality than any smaller filter system could do.
So when my dad and my uncle were visiting us here, we showed them this filter system and they thought that this is a good quality filtration system. For nearly 10 years my wife and I are drinking a gallon of this filtered water per day and have zero health problems (also thyroid and testosterone levels are great).
My cousin in Germany is the plant manager at a water treatment plant. They do not fluoridate nor do they chlorinate their water. They filter through bedrock then ozonate the water. Done.
What many people do not realize about fluoridated water is the fluoride incorporated into the water is a byproduct of the fertilizer industry. That’s right we in eastern Canada truck our fluoride up from Jacksonville Florida as a toxic substance and dump it in our water. Try to wrap your mind around some synthetic substance at toxic levels pumped into your water and that’s ok because it’s diluted. Ok, but what the heck is it doing on the inside of our body.
This is another example of big business having waste products they need to deal with and can’t by environmental reasons… so let’s make so kind of product and sell it. Vaseline is another example.
@@rapalaspouse2901 ozonation leaves no residual, if theres a leak with no residual disinfectant, people die.
Here in the first world, the US, lol, we account for that.
@@rapalaspouse2901are you talking about the vaseline that we use on our skin?
@@suzannepurple yes
what is your filter system
We are on a well with amazing water. As a result I'm very sensitive to how municipal tap water tastes. It all just tastes like chemicals to me, and I even take a few gallons of my own water if we go away for a day or two.
Ok I feel like Andrew talking about fluoride is real time paradigm shift for me, great work thanks for teaching us
There was a study in Finland that stated that tap water in Finland contains less impurities than bottled water. I have never bought bottled water in Finland.
Tap water here in New Delhi is toxic. Didn't get it tested, but after using a shower filter my hairfall decreased.
Maybe hard water with too much minerals but can't say it is toxic or not
I would be curious what your thoughts are on plastic leaching into water. I have been aware of the negative affects of tap water for some time, but do you have any insights on using mostly plastic water filters/containers to filter tap water? A talk from Dr. Anthony Jay really freaked me out on the use of plastics in the home. So while I do want to filter water most reasonably priced water filters use lots of plastic. Which is worse, using tap water or taking the risk and filtering it in a mostly plastic container?
After a few years of irregular temperature and pH it would start to leach into the water if you're using the same plastic container, so there isn't a real issue if you replace every few years, but if possible you should use glass containers.
Pick your poison, you want dirty water or you want micro plastics
Clearly filtered one of the best water pitcher
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! This is so important and not spoken about enough!! There's all sorts of nasties in tap water!!
This is a balanced take, and 100% true…. In most urban environments a simple Brita (carbon filter) changed regularly, once a month for a family, once every 5-8 weeks for a single, is sufficient. Rural agricultural areas, have significantly different toxic pollution in them, and likely require a Reverse Osmosis filter. If you do use RO, you have to add minerals back, as they strip everything and that is dangerous too.
How do you add minerals back? And wouldn't you get these minerals in other foods?
@@wefsux there are mineral drops designed exactly for that purpose, to re-mineralize RO or distilled water. You could also use a bit of sea salt, and epsom salt to save money, but you’d need a TDS meter to adjust the right quantity, too much for most. When water has no minerals it will leach it out of your body and bones, OK short term, but not long term. Food is generally not sufficient unless you eat lots of rich soups, stews and broths regularly.
Just eat healthy and drink water. That's all. Capitalism will scare you with anything to sell you something. I drink well water through a Brita filter mostly, mainly because it tastes better. People will tell you distilled water is bad for you. Sure, if you're on a prolonged water fast, distilled water won't cut it. But this is why we eat food.
Brita only removes large molecules like odour. They’re useless.
I use reverse osmosis that has a medical grade calcium and magnesium releaser on it, I use APEC ro it has 6 filters I change every six months
Got me a ZERO water on the Bezos web site and I frigging LOVE that thing.
Ok, water worker longer than Huberman has been a Dr, and I agree with one thing, ph/hardness/and alkalinity particularly are very important . It's why water plants like I run spend millions a year to control ph/hardness/all in a very tightly defined and legally regulated range.
🙄
Which water do you drink? Do you recommend Clearly Filtered pitcher? It was rated best !
It's great to explain the how and why. Could you also show the data in graphs to show what can happen. Something that most can understand? It took me years to convince my mom about arsenic in her water. That's the gravity of it all. Even arsenic was looked past cuz the township made it seem fine. 90% believe authoritative figures.
You have a way to info in a easy to digest way. The problem is others who say no way. If you can, you'd rock. If you need help, let me know. This is critical and you have that something that will get the masses to listen.
Thanks brotha
I just recently started drinking tap water again. I went about 25 years only drinking bottled water but the cost of bottled water has gone up a lot so I invested in a brita water pitcher/filter and now drink tap water through that. Saving money is always a good thing.
I may be wrong but I think Brita only purifies taste
@@dude_man_bro It also purifies chlorine. But yeah, pretty much everything else isn't filtered. Brita doesn't do much in terms of filtration.
so you got 25 yrs of bottle plastic container chemicals floating in your blood stream now ? remember them containers are not made to hold products without releasing chemicals into the water just easier to water sell off shelfs.
does drinkinf minearl bottle water for everyday is healthys?
You can remove the chlorine just by leaving it open to atmosphere for a while.
Is there any literature on the safety and impact of the materials used to make water filters on the human body?
During a particular Olympics (I don't recall which year) that was held in the US, German swimmers demands and got, a pool that was purified using no chemicals....only ozone. I believe Rice University has such a pool.
There are also PFAS in tap water aside from disinfectants, i.e. chlorine. I had no idea there were reproductive challenges related to tap water.
Yesss!!! I work in a nice steakhouse and we have a reverse osmosis tank. I always try to tell guests that’s it’s so much better, but they don’t know lol.
It's thousands of times worse in non-tap water. Enjoy.
@@Elguapodelfuegothe bar I worked at had really good water filtration so I’d always fill up a huge jug. Tap water tastes like ass unfiltered. I have city water, my parents have well. Both ass
PFAS and other manmade chemicals are the real danger that we need to filter for. Fluoride at the levels included in drinking water (put there intentionally for dental health) is not dangerous.
My psoriasis has greatly improved since switching to bottled water. I am not happy about my plastic output but it's also not expensive for me at about 19pence per 2litre bottle, which I think works out top be about £100 - £150 per year. I had my tap water tested randomly by the water company and the tester asked me if I had ever had issues after swimming, which I replied yes, and she said it's probably the chlorine in the water, and that if I lived in the next county north, they get their water from natural springs in the ground.
Do mean you wash your hair with bottled water ? I’m going through the same problem rn, moved to a rental for a bit and the mineral count in the water here is insane, I just discovered this and I thinks it messing up my scalp pretty bad
If you are indeed allergic then you can get a filter for your whole home, or just the shower and sink. I healed my psoriasis by going vegan for a while through a process of elimination, im not a vegan though and dont recommend it as a lifestyle. Also drank nettle and dandelion tea.
Most bottled water is tap water.
@@MisterNiles it’s is not sir. The water can essentially come from the same sources but bottled water is treated and their mineral profile is changed, hence waters tasting different from fiji to the sink. This what we’re talking about, even tap water sources can very, my rental has an extremely high mineral count and even leaves calcium build up on the shower, the ice changes the flavor of drinks; it’s horrible.
Speaking from a guy who deals with psoriasis, how do you deal with yours?
Get a stainless countertop distiller w/ a VOC filter and remineralize your own water with ionic trace mineral drops. Best way to get pure, clean water with no toxins.
I have Amway's eSpring water filtration system. It has a bunch of appealing features, but it's garbage. It purposely allows fluoride through. I've noticed the bottom of my water kettle was completely white and rough. Only scotch brite can remove it (imagine that fluoride rock around your pineal gland). I bought that filter years ago, looking to avoid plastic water bottles as glass ones are too expensive. Now I had cleaned the kettle about 2 weeks ago and used plastic bottled water since then, my kettle's bottom is completely clean. I don't need to scrub it at all, stainless steel bottom is perfectly shiny. Avoid E-Spring. Its expensive and designed to let fluoride through.
And here I am at the Medditerennian having one of the best tap waters in the world. Just saying because you sound funny to us here 😂

Mr Traumatik warned us about fluoride in our water turning us bipolar
Awesome video, thank you. How about well water that is high on PH and Alkalinity? Is it good and safe to drink?
I’m wondering the same thing
Happy to live in Germany, we have a perfect tap water, it's basically a fantastic spring water.
Completely false fairytale sadly. Our tapwater is full of chemical sht and especially pharma drugs that are effective at super small doses.
I have always been a tap water enthusiast drinking 3-5 liters as an athlete, until I switched to bottled glass water and many of my problems simply went away. A brita filter at least does filter some pharma sht out.
German tap water is only tested and purified for some specific things plus you get the chemical desinfectant byproducts that Huberman mentions.
I learned yesterday that the tap water cannot never be trusted. I was in a restroom, & when I flushed the toilet, water spit out of the sink's drain like a fountain. I was perplexed & horrified.
Sewer and domestic drinking water CAN NOT be tied to the same system!!!
@@Lewisusa11It happens in my apartment…I think you’re very wrong on that
Research shows that when fluoride binds to dietary magnesium it could create an insoluble mineral compound that ends up being deposited in the bones, where it can weaken the bone matrix, leading to brittle bones and an increased risk of fractures. Approximately 10 million Americans have osteoporosis and another 44 million have low bone density, placing them at increased risk.
Is there a way to filter it out
I mean to filter it out of your body
Thanks
Went to buy a pur filter and decided to see if they actually work and now I went down a terrifying rabbit hole of toxic tap water. Good to know, but I don’t need anymore fears 😧
I’m so happy that someone of Andrew’s stature is addressing fluoridation and the communist contamination of our precious bodily fluids!! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Communist? Wow your education system is a failure
Damn didn't realize that the communist work in the water treatment plants. Always assumed it was the rich office bureaucrats who ran against no one for local positions, but Stalin's grandchildren have really gotten around town these days.
Man stop using “communist” for everything, you people butchered the meaning of the word and it’s cringey 🤦♂️😂
Great data re: magnesium. Its involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body and has an obvious and noticeable effect on mood, muscle soreness/pain, qi flow and circulation. An easy workaround if you can't get it in drinking water, and even if you can, to get close to the daily dose needed is to use a transdermal magnesium spray daily or several times a week.
For lots of details about water treatment and distribution in the U.S., read Troubled Water by Seth M. Siegel - hair raising stuff
My city sends out a water report every year. It’s two. Full pages of chemicals in it. I stopped drinking tap water 10 years ago
You should leave a link to these studies you are promoting. I for one would be very interested to read them.
I’m not sure what to believe but happy to listen to all sides of water filtration debates etc.
One thing I will say is my parents are in their late 70’s always have drank tap water, eaten non organic foods, eat meat blah blah blah and neither have any medical complications this far. That’s all I have on the matter and will still listen to all sides of the arguments with water filtration.
Glad that you have an open mindset. Wishing your parents a strong and healthy life! 🙏
my aunt did same thing drinking tap non organic foods and lots of meat. She made it to 97 sharp as a tack but had open heart surgery in mid seventies. I am convinced with better water food etc , she wluld have livedwell over a hundred hundred!
@@garyssimo Yeah that's what i always think about when people raise this kind of anecdotal evidence, you always have to wonder if they wouldn't have lived longer without x or y factor, i think most humans have the genetic potential to live healthy and strong past a hundred given the right conditions, just have to look at how common those are in some parts of the world, even without ideal conditions cause those don't exist.
…. Your aunt, and parents who were born before 1950 grew up in a time with much less pollutants in their tap water. The foods they ate were also closer to whole foods than the processed crap you’ve been consuming for the last 40 years.
Children born before 1950 had zero to 4 vaccinations. Today, some states require over 40 vaccines before the age of 18.
@@HarrisonCountyStudio Very true the food quality has taken a nosedive, and now there's also the question of EMFs and whether they have long term health effects which is still unclear to me but i have a hard time believing it could be completely harmless when we are constantly bathed in it like we are now. What if it does something to the DNA, especially during formative years? I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Just to clarify, it is better to drink hard water with higher levels of calcium and magnesium levels, and the main reason we need to filter it is to reduce/remove the fluoride in it? I just got a water analysis from my area, and it said that it has between 0.06-0.33 mg/l of fluoride in the tap water and high levels of calcium and mangnesium. Some quick research says that the healthy fluoride range is around 0.7 mg/l. Would I not need to filter the water in this case?
The water in Australia has fluoride added. Which means all the beer has fluoride in it too, assuming it's made with tap water.
For the guys here in Germany its a bit different. We do have other hygenic and analysis Std. Any bottle water has more inpurities and unwanted trace elements than tapwater. (in some cases Nitrate excluded). Even in the hotest summers hypochlorite addition into the water is not necessary in the most cities.
Sicher? Wie ist das mit dem Flouridgehalt hier bei uns? Ich hab mich damit leider noch nicht beschäftigt.
@@andreagrazianodibenedetto1464 Einfach beim städtischen Wasserwerk die gesetzlich verpflichtete Wasseranalyse herunterlaaden. Grenzwert für Flourid 1.5 mg/L bei unserem Wasser
Don't blindly trust your office authorities, find ways to test water for yourself...Heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, bacteria, ...
@@siclucealucksweißt du ab wann es kritisch mit dem Flourid wird? Bei mir sind es nämlich 0,07mg/l und aus dem Video ging nicht hervor, welche Werte akzeptabel sind.
@@hansschmidt2192 sorry leider nein
This was a disappointing presentation. I have not consumed tap water for twenty years mainly due to the local council deciding to fluoridate the water supply. I now have a reverse osmosis unit & found a water vending machine that has seven filtration stages including reverse osmosis for other family members & friends who are concerned about their health.
Thanks. Which council are you under?
Have you got a link for your system please?
@@sukhjotesingh9613 I live in Australia. I bought a counter top unit made in the USA called Aqua Tru which is easy to find online. I hope that helps.
So what by unit should I be using?
It was just announced on our news that tap water all across Australia contains 140 times the acceptible level of PFOAS.
What about boiling tap water instead of filtering it?
Thats distilled water and the water comes out almost pure with a neutral pH
If you boil it in a kettle, you’re actually making things worse by increasing the concentration of contaminants. That’s why you should only boil water once. If you boil and distill it, you remove everything, including the minerals.
"Tap water is really bad for you! Be rich instead and get yourself better alternative."
“If you’re poor, just give up, you can’t possibly improve your lot in life.”
For real if you search for fluoride filters there aren't any cheap options, it's either reverse osmosis or a water distiller, or you have to buy gallons of distilled water. Last I checked basic gravity filters don't filter out fluoride, and those are the only cheap options.
its not that expensive, lay off the booze and weed for 2 weeks you can afford it.
Berkley is one of the best and affordable filter
Bottled water is usually tap water with minerals for flavor.
Not if it’s spring water. Spring water comes from earth springs listed on the bottle.
Yup, spring water is spring water, and the tap water kind is heavily filtered…. But I’d still trust spring more.
No. Some Bottle water is filter with reverse osmosis and other filtrations
where is the "alex jones was right" jar? we owe it more money.
We have a 300ft deep well. Our water is hard. No fluoride. We test it periodically. 2 pre filters coming into the house. Berkey filter for drinking water. Im searching for a natural filter method to ensure its great.
I distil all my drinking water then add minerals back in. Excluding the initial cost of the distiller it costs me about £2 ($2.60) per day.
You should specify that you are referring to city tap water. I live in rural Michigan and I have very good well water from the well I had drilled when I built my house. Has Cal and Mg in it, tastes very good and no water treatment or fluoride.
The podcast host Dhru Purohit says either you "have" a water filter or "YOU ARE" the water filter. I am on a well and I buy the filtered water from the blue machines in front of grocery stores. It dispenses 5 gallons and it is put through 5 stages of filtering. THEN I put that through my "zero water" brand water filter. I am basically drinking distilled water so I supplement with electrolyte powder.
Could you please share which brand of electrolytes are you adding to your water?! Greatly appreciated
@@moniryousefian8782 Dr Eric Berg Electrolyte Powder Raspberry & Lemon flavor
Get my water from the filtering machines in Publix here in Florida. I add sea salt to re mineralize, put in a red pitcher left out in sun for a day to solar energize (red spectrum vibration and UV disinfects) then pour into a container with quartz crystals. I am now looking into copper containers and how that can increase the water benefits. I will look into the electrolytes you use.
I watched the video a couple times and failed to find anywhere mentioned what is an acceptable range of fluoride in drinking water
Do you have a recommendation for a filtered water bottle for traveling?
I live in Italy. My water is the hardest I have ever seen. Its like milk when it dries on any surface
Looks like you need a whole house water filter for hard water. We live in Perth and hard water ruins appliances, plumbing and tapware.
I've heard that's how some of the romans luckily mitigated poisoning from the lead pipes
Why are there so many cuts? is this AI generated? The sentences sound normal but the video is very weird.
We have an old lead water supply pipe and only found this out when the stop valve was changed. The plumber told us not to drink the water unless we have an under counter filter... Can these filters genuinely solve a lead problem??
Which tap water filter reduces flouride?
Shouldn't shower water be filtered too or is the level of absorption from skin contact negligible?
It’s probably much much less than ingesting it. Like drinking alcohol vs pouring it on your skin. You’re going to get drunk drinking it. Taking a hot vodka shower I’m not sure you’d have the same situation. Interesting thought though
My children grew up with fluoridated water. All 3 are in their 40's now, and all 3 have never had even ONE cavity. They are healthy and college graduates.
I had 5 cavities by the time I was 13.
I’m 47 and have no cavities and never used fluorinated water. I took care of myself and didn’t need a neurotoxin to keep my teeth clean
This is not evidence, you probably gave them good dental habits.
@@TimeForTrimfacts man! You don’t need fluoride for good teeth.
I have a lot of cavities and grew up wth fluoridated water.
Drinking small amounts of fluoride are not going to make or break your teeth. Brushing, flossing and occasional mouth wash do. You just were bad at taking care of your teeth when you were young and/or ate/drank lots of sugary things. Dont outsource your dental hygiene to something you cant control when most likely it was on you. Hear people say this all the time.
You can see the video has been pieced together from many videos combined... This is not an actual video by Andrew Huberman
I was advised, years ago, that minerals contained in drinking water are inorganic in nature and not able to be adsorbed by the body. I was also told that the minerals we can adsorb are organic and found in meats, vegetables and fruits. I've used a reverse osmosis system for drinking, ice, coffee, tea and cooking for over thirty years. Although it does demineralize the water and lower the pH, the removal of other solids and Volatile Organic Compounds which can be carcinogenic, is very beneficial to one's health. On the pH issue, I believe the pH of the gut is 1.5 to 2.0 so could you explain why a higher pH water is beneficial? I was recently looking at the specs on a refrigerator with a water and ice dispenser that claimed that the on-board water filter could remove up to 95% of "pharmaceuticals" from the incoming water source. I was surprised to see the manufacturer actually use that word rather than "contaminants". Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!
What do you do to stay healthy regarding the loss of minerals ?
My grandma refused to buy bottled water. Said the sink water is fine. She lives 94 years. Also drank root beer. And was a boss
What's with the video cutting constantly? Is this an edit? AI generated?
Wha wha wha ut do do do you me me me an?
It jumps around because it’s not the original creator, so this guy stole the video and is editing it so it won’t show as stolen. Allegedly
@@latentsea but some sentences are cut halfway, despite being almost impossible that the speaker stopped halfway (from his entonation)
What if i distill my water first, should i be adding back in magnesium etc?
He doesn't mention reverse osmosis in his presentation, leaving me with more questions than answers.
It's snipet of entire podcast
This channel recycles (aka steals) parts of the acutal podcasts of Huberman and just leaves the biggest chunk of info out
Reverse os.osis removes all mineral from your water. This is not healthy. Pure water H2O wants to be mineralized, and will soak mineral from your body. I have blood test to prove this.
I don't think reverse osmosis is good choice, it removes 99% of minerals,
that's worse than rain water which been proven to have negative effect on health due to lack of mineral content!
Me watching this in Lithuania where tap water is batter quality than most bottled waters in US. Ph ~7.8, magnesium content 16mg/l. Total mineral content where I live is ~450mg/l which is double that of average bottled water. 100% of our water comes from deep water wells.
*gulp* *gulp* *gulp*
Lol, we are so ignorant. None of that is a good thing.
@@RobertMorganso what would be good?
i work for a water treatment plant in new jersey and our operators (people in charge of the disinfection process) wont drink our water, that says something imo. with that being said we dont add fluoride into our water.
RO is the way to go with ice filtered cubes. Reduce fluoride as close to zero as possible.
OK, it's bad, I'm convinced. I'm scared into action. What does one do? What are the potential solutions? I don't want to just hear about how bad the problem is without any hope for making a difference.
Whats with the heavy editing ?
It's a deefake AI Video
What about drinking lower ph, lower magnesium water but consuming additional magnesium through food, other drinks, or supplements? Just as good as drinking higher magnesium water but not consuming extra?
while this is unbelievably important information it always occurs to me that we are all broken people as a collective if these are actually the things we have to deal with and find solutions to.
The least of my intake issues is tap water. More like terrible foods and mind altering substances 😅
I'm Finnish and don't understand this nonsense.
Thank you! May I say something others think im crazy for. Here in southern cali they are putting fiber optics in the roads right behind my house which goes straight across two towns here in riverside county. They dug up the dirt put it in trucks to be hauled away and put in dirt sent here from los angeles the dirt was hum.
my water has 0.087mg/l of fluoride. Is this low enough to not worry about it?
This video is clearly HEAVILY edited. This creator has purposely spliced bits from several podcast episodes to make this video. This is not real info people, be warned.
He edited out his pauses lots of people do it what are you high on?
@@matthewmeredith4433high on paranoia. Seems to be very common nowadays. Maybe there’s something in the water 😉
Berkey!! water filters are the best. Get a Berky!!!
I just watched a review that tested those & said it showed they were actually leeching something into the water... I really wanted a Berkey...
