Now, I'm just not cynical enough to believe that the US or British  
governments would add chemicals to the water to suppress the  
population.  No way.  They'd never do that.

Normally I'm quite a calm guy.  But when I see things like, for  
example this: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4690230.stm> (that's  
one of my personal favourites)... well my blood just starts to boil.

I don't know how common it is here, but I'm fairly sure I'm not in a  
fluoridated area.  Thanks for the tip about the water filter.  We've  
got a cheap Britta-like filter jug here.  I don't know if that will  
filter it or not.  Either way, I don't want to be drinking it.

Thinking of water, my boss found an article recently suggesting an  
origin for milk drinking: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/ 
6397001.stm>

I mean, I'm sure paleo man would choose fluoridated water over evil  
poisonous stream water, even if milk is still obviously far superior  
to both.  This just occurred to me: if raw milk was safer than water 
(!) back then, why is it now considered so deadly that it's banned in  
virtually all of the UK and AFAIK the USA too?
