-Yes. All Sagan water filter systems remove fluoride from tap water and any non-salt water source.
Why we feel this is desirable: Fluoride is an additive in 70% of cities across the US and has been shown to have some ill effects on the human body.Sagan water filter faqs
First added as a solution to dental health, research suggests Fluoride is not an essential nutrient. No disease, not even tooth decay, is caused by a “fluoride deficiency.”
Once fluoride is put in the water it is impossible to control the dose each individual receives because people drink different amounts of water. Being able to control the dose a patient receives is critical. Some people (e.g., manual laborers, athletes, diabetics, and people with kidney disease) drink substantially more water than others.
Fluoride accumulates in the body. Healthy adult kidneys excrete 50 to 60% of the fluoride ingested each day (Marier & Rose 1971). The remainder accumulates in the body, largely in calcifying tissues such as the bones and pineal gland (Luke 1997, 2001). Infants and children excrete less fluoride from their kidneys and take up to 80% of ingested fluoride into their bones (Ekstrand 1994). The fluoride concentration in bone steadily increases over a lifetime (NRC 2006).
