The government has been telling the public that fluoride is safe and beneficial for people for over a half a century.
However, there is still controversy over the safety of fluoride in the products and water people use. Fluoride is a toxin that is a little less toxic than arsenic and more poisonous than lead. Over 90 percent of fluoridated water in the United States has never been tested for safety, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made the substance illegal to dump at sea, stating that fluoride is a hazardous waste.

Please don't fool yourself into thinking that you can tell your water is safe by the way it looks, tastes, or smells.
Some contaminants in water are so harmful that they are measured in "parts per million" or "parts per billion." In other words, just a drop of these poisons added to gallons and gallons of water can be very harmful.
Just installing a filter to purify your drinking water may not be enough. You could still be exposed to contaminated water when you:
If you are unsure if your water is safe, I recommend you find out by taking advantage of AquaMD's Diagnostic Service or their Direct Laboratory Testing Services.
How AquaMD's Diagnostic Service Works
You simply answer some brief, but pertinent questions in their online questionnaire. One of AquaMD's water diagnosticians will review your responses and contact your water company to examine the laboratory tests they have performed on your water supply. AquaMD will provide you with a written report advising: a) If the water you are using is safe right now. b) If you need a specific water treatment system to remove the contaminants found in your water. c) If some limited additional laboratory tests should be performed because your water company did not conduct them.

You need to have your well water tested yourself at least once a year. Since there are hundreds of contaminants you can test for, it is not cost effective to test for every possible one. Thus AquaMD's Diagnostic Service will ask you to respond to more extensive questions. Your answers will be reviewed by one of their water diagnosticians and they will recommend exactly what lab tests you should have performed, and explain why they should be performed. If contamination is found, they will also provide you with unbiased treatment advice.
