Just going by taste, Buffalo has some of the best water in the country (except NYC)…
If you go anywhere out on the west coast, the water is undrinkable.
I spent a week at a 4 star hotel in miami, and the water was visibly tinted brown…
I don’t even use a brita filter, also during the winter the water is so cold you don’t even need to refrigerate it.
I noticed that when I was in Buffalo that the water was noticeably better than in long island.
sugar free gum has apsratame, which causes cancer.

Tonawanda actually has one of the most advanced water treatment facilities in the country. It was built and over-engineered to handle a lot of heavy industry… that never actually came to the area, lol.
The water table in LI has some serious problems. They’re pulling water out faster than nature can replenish it, and in some parts ocean / salt water is replacing fresh water.
No brita and other filter systems do not remove fluoride. Your most economical solution is a reverse osmosis unit. They arent too expensive and they remove 95% of fluoride supposedly.
when I was in Wisconsin the water was slimy. it felt like you could never get soap off of you. didn’t taste right either.
I had someone tell me a couple weeks ago “Of course you like it, you’re from Buffalo. you people are ok with drinking tap water.”
EPA is typically about 10 steps behind research, especially with regard to exposure limits. Of course, they are bound by things other than science.
Uhh…
Aspartame
Aspartame, distributed under several trade names (e.g., NutraSweet® and Equal®), was approved in 1981 by the FDA after numerous tests showed that it did not cause cancer or other adverse effects in laboratory animals. Questions regarding the safety of aspartame were renewed by a 1996 report suggesting that an increase in the number of people with brain tumors between 1975 and 1992 might be associated with the introduction and use of this sweetener in the United States. However, an analysis of then-current NCI statistics showed that the overall incidence of brain and central nervous system cancers began to rise in 1973, 8 years prior to the approval of aspartame, and continued to rise until 1985. Moreover, increases in overall brain cancer incidence occurred primarily in people age 70 and older, a group that was not exposed to the highest doses of aspartame since its introduction. These data do not establish a clear link between the consumption of aspartame and the development of brain tumors.
In 2005, a laboratory study found more lymphomas and leukemias in rats fed very high doses of aspartame (equivalent to drinking 8 to 2,083 cans of diet soda daily) (1). However, there were some inconsistencies in the findings. For example, the number of cancer cases did not rise with increasing amounts of aspartame as would be expected. An FDA statement on this study can be found at http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/2006/ucm108650.htm on the Internet.

that article is not convincing at all and both agencies doing the studies were government agencies, and the FDA is not to be trusted EVER. They tell us the FDA is there for our safety but nothing could be further from the truth. Dangerous drugs are approved by them all the time. Do the research on how dangerous adderall is, and how dangerous fluoride is, and how many drug recalls there have been over the past 5 years. The FDA is one of the most irresponsible and dangerous angencies in the US government at the federal level.
I drink tap water, I also ride a motorcycle, whatever. The bike will kill me long before the water.
