There are many people, even experts, that highly recommend domestic filtration systems for drinking water.
Fluoride is added in small amounts in municipal water supplies in most American cities. This is because it supposedly reduces tooth decay. It does to a slight extent. However it has some serious side effects. Fluoride causes average IQ of Chinese children to decline several points. Fluoride damages human chromosomes. Fluoride causes permanent staining of teeth, for which is why the American Dental Association warns mothers not to use fluoridated water in baby formula.. Fluoride combined with aluminum causes damage to the brain resembling Alzheimer's disease, and aluminum is present in some baking powder as well as some drinking water. Moderate levels of fluoride exposure (e.g. 0.9 ppm in the water) can exacerbate the neurological defects of iodine deficiency, reduce melatonin hormone, and leads to an earlier onset of puberty. Fluoride also increases absorption of lead into the body.
With all of these considerations taken into account, the final verdict may be that tap water, even in industrial countries, may be unsafe to drink.
