I don't care to get into any discussions about the dangers or non-dangers of fluoride.

For the last three years, I've been doing what I'd guess 99% of Korean households do � boil a kettle of water and add in a barley water tea bag and chill.

If there is fluoride in the tap water, I'd want to switch to bottled water, but I hear not all the bottled waters are fluoride-free?

Ignoring the urge to discuss about flouride and our precious bodily fluids.

I am pretty certain that Seoul does not fluoridate the water. As to your worries about bottled water - most are labeled with mineral content. Brush up on your Korean (or just look for the F) and chemistry and see if you think too much is in the water.

Now on to my suspicions that Korean toothpaste has sugar in it. I suspect collusion between the dentists and companies.

Is Paju's water still fortified with pig's blood?
