Here’s the truth, served straight up with no chaser: boiling water does not remove fluoride. In fact, it does the opposite. When you boil water, some of it turns into steam and escapes, leaving the fluoride behind in a more concentrated form. So you’re actually getting a stronger dose, not a weaker one. Oops!
But don’t panic. This isn’t a disaster—it’s just a fun, nerdy fact about chemistry. Think of it like making a sauce: you simmer it to intensify the flavor. Boiling water intensifies the fluoride. Not what you wanted? I get it.
