"Do no harm" means anything questionable like this should not be done.

Drink only spring water (other bottled water is from "municipal sources", contains flouride plus) if you care about your health.

              only 50% of the fluoride we ingest each day is excreted through 
              the kidneys. The remainder accumulates in our bones, pineal gland, 
              and other tissues. If the kidney is damaged, fluoride accumulation 
              will increase, and with it, the likelihood of harm.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7850F77C-2A1A-44DF-B889-A064E6EAEC9B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
