So, to answer Karen’s question—and yours: yes, reverse osmosis absolutely removes fluoride, and it does it damn well. But you don’t have to go full luxury-home-workshop mode. A compact RO system under your sink or on your counter will do the job without turning your kitchen into a plumbing nightmare.
Just remember: everything in moderation. Even filtered water. If you remove all the fluoride, be sure to get it from other sources—like toothpaste or, you know, actual food. And don’t let the internet scare you into buying something you don’t need. Your tap water is probably fine. But if it’s not? Now you know who to call. 👊
