I'm almost certain _some_ of flouride is removed in filtering just because
it's reactive. (I live in an area where the water is not flouridated
anyhow.:)
Regarding bottled water, if it hasn't been flouridated to begin with -- as
is the case with almost all spring water, which is the most popular kind of
bottled water -- you would not have to worry.
