Hi, Marilyn.  The Berkefeld water system DOES take out fluoride if you order 
the upgraded filter; I had a telcon w/ their rep in Colorado this week.

Re. fluoride in tea:  it is either eliminated or significantly reduced in 
organic tea.

BTW, I grew up in Grand Rapids, MI when the city was the "test" city for 
fluoride.  Ha.  My brothers, friends & I all ended up w/ a mouth full of 
cavities.  One friend, who later moved to Toronto, has studied the negative 
effects of ingesting fluoride for years and is published on the subject. 
She travels and presents her findings on radio and TV programs.

I agree w/ the list poster who said that he felt it unnecessary to add 
fluoride to water sytems.
