The cover of First for Women on magazine racks this week says
THE NEW WATER CURE
Oxford University researcher confirm drinking H2O speeds weight loss by 550%
But 95% of women don’t see results because the water they’re drinking is slowing their thyroid
Well, I had to read that!
Unfortunately, First for Women doesn’t cite their studies, and I couldn’t find a study online to support the claim in their headline.
But it is widely known and documented that fluoride in tap water can effect your thyroid gland. Since the thyroid gland regulates weight gain and loss, drinking fluoridated water would impair your body’s ability to lose weight. Fluoride in tap water may even contribute to weight gain—so yes, one can get fat from drinking water.
It’s no secret that drinking water can help you lose weight, but drinking fluoridated water may defeat the purpose.
Since fluoride has many other health effects, it’s always best to drink fluoride-free water.
If you are drinking tap water, it’s likely that it contains fluoride.
Your best protection is to get a water filter that is specifically designed to remove fluoride.
The water filter I use in my own home is made by Pure Effect. It’s state of the art filtration removes just about everything that might be in your water that you don’t want to put in your body…including fluoride.
