I drink well water, avoid tap water outside the home (unless it's filtered/bottled and that's my only option), and I treat my water with an iodine solution in an attempt to decalcify my pineal gland from prior damage.
Fluoride is up there, but pthalates and all the bisephenol hardening agents are what are truly fucking our health up. It's. In. Fucking. Everything. Name it, and there's some polymer that's leeched into it. I'm on the path to ridding all plastics from my life, from my synthetic clothing, to my cookware, when I'm done not even my water will have touched anything plastic.
That said, 60-70% of fluoride in your body is absorbed through your skin, from your shower water. Unless you're on well water with calcium fluoride (not sodium fluoride as added to municipal water systems), showering with R.O. water, or optimally - distilled water, you're not going to escape from it. Even R.O. has fluoride, just not as much as tap...
It's in essentially every shelf-bought beverage too, less distilled water, but that shit comes in plastic jugs so you can't win. Salt is 400 PPM, if you eat food with salt, you're getting a hefty dose (I cook with Himalayan pink, it has less than 2 PPM).
One investment I have my eyes on is a whole-house distiller, paired with shark bite or propressed copper pipe throughout my home. My clothes will be cotton/wool, my cookware will be silver-lined copper, my water will be distilled running through copper, and my food will be aquaponics grown in a completely zinc/magnesium system.
I'm sure we all have a built immunity to all this shit, so a little is sure to be okay, but not at the levels we're subjected to on a daily basis. It's sickening, really.
What whole house distiller are you considering?
Honestly I'm not sure yet, maybe the Durastil 84150? Not many options, house distillers are still in infancy, and most have internal plastic parts. I have an H2O Labs counter distiller where the last thing the water touches is carbon (for VOC's) and glass, it can only do 4 gallons a day. I'm on well water currently so I'm not pressed to buy a whole house distiller, I have yet to find anything that could crank several kilowatts (7 or more) that is cheaper than a car, which is what I'm seeking.
Copper leads to showers and faucets, then I'd have zinc plumbing for drinking and cooking.

I should just start a damn company from my garage, the market is starving for beefy plastic-free options.
*Edited to add the model and clarification
Build a house and use stainless steel for your pipes, however you're really going to have to stay on top of your ph to avoid long term damage.
actually you need MORE salt
Nah, I sold to a heart surgeon once and he said salt is like running sand through your veins, causes inflammation and restricted blood flow at higher levels.
Lack of salt kills
Bull. Shit.
All the while we keep creating more fags and trans by using PLASTICS

Well...it went mainstream.
One thing I want to point out, flouride toothpaste is absolutely the worst.
Mix baking soda, salt and peroxide into a paste. Press this into your gumline, DO NOT BRUSH, it is very abrasive. Healthy gums are the key to healthy teeth.
Pretty much a 1:1:1 ratio? Suppose I can brush my teeth with a minty non-fluoridated toothpaste afterwards for fresh-smelling breath.
Also, fermented butter oil and cod liver oil is great for the teeth as well. Coconut oil is good for pulling as well. All things that can be researched.
I personally, don't rinse my mouth out afterwards. Maybe 15 minutes later I'll do a mouth wash for the scent if I need to, or you could also add a drop of peppermint oil.
I use a Berkfeld filter and avoid fluoridated hygiene products.
I got a ceramic gravity filter and swapped in an anti-fluoride cartridge about a year back, but too much shit went down in the past year that's made me unproductive and unmotivated so it's hard to determine what the effect was. Around late 2018 I felt a sense of inner doom, a bit like my soul was crying out for me to do something to save my sense of individuality and that was what set me on that path, but if it was even related to fluoride I might have acted too late.
Other factors that complicated things were that around that time my employer fell under bad management and did a few overbearing things, like forcing me to buy a smartphone for the first time to run a dumb and invasive app; most colleagues thought I was just being silly when I complained but it felt like over the course of a few months they broke part of my old free spirit on a deep level by crossing my personal boundaries, and I also watched certain occupations that once brought joy to my life being run down and destroyed by leftist busy-bodies at around the same time. I wanted to go back to the kind of person I was before and thought cutting fluoride might have helped detoxify my brain, but if I have more mental clarity now it's only the type that's made me aware of the sheer futility of things I used to enjoy spending my time on.
I'm not gonna let you just post a link to the Quran without sharing your own experience!
Oh, it didn't
I distill my tap water. It's the best proven method. Especially since when you do a simple search on it you get nothing but negative results.
Hopefully you are adding electrolytes back in. Distilled water alone can deplete you faster by absorbing them from your body.
Nope, haven't done it and don't need to. I eat food so I'm all good.
That’s a myth
Show me some evidence and I'll concede. I haven't seen any to the contrary to change my perception.
