F.A.N. Discussion Forum > Can boiling water remove fluoride?

Just curious , since the filters are so expensive can drinking water be boiled to remove or at least reduce the amount of flouride?

Thanks

Unfortunately no!

Actually boiling concentrates the fluoride litter!

They planned it that way, to ensure as many people as is possible, get exposed to this totally unnecessary toxin.

The boiling of fluoridated water merely concentrates the fluoride ion in the water as the amount of fluoride stays the same, but the volume of water decreases through steam.
An example would be making soup starting with a gallon (4 quarts/liters at 1ppm or 1mg/liter fluoride concentration). Boiling the soup down to 2 quarts over hours you would still have the original 4 mg from the original gallon, but the concentration would now be 2ppm. And that is not factoring in any fluoride in the soup ingredients.
To the best of my knowledge (and I welcome correction), no significant amount of fluoride in water leaves as HF gas in the steam from boiling.
