Nope. Brita uses a negatively charged filtration system, and the negatively charged Fluoride is not attracted to it.

Do Brita filters remove fluoride?
I've been thinking about buying a pitcher to filter water but I'm wondering what exatlcy will it remove? Does it remove chlorine and flouride because that's my main reason for buying one.
It looks like both will reduce the chlorine in your water, but they will not do a lot to reduce the fluoride in it.
Brita's pitcher filters removes "only small amounts of fluoride over the life of the filter." The Brita pitcher filters also reduce the amount of chlorine in the water, reduces copper by 88%, reduces mercury by 91%, reduces 99.99% of cysts (crytosporidium and Giardia), and reduces lead by 97%.
As far as the Pur filter pitchers go...
"The PuR 7-Cup Pitcher using The PuR 1-Stage Filter:
* Combines activated carbon to reduce chlorine, sediment, bad taste, and odor with an ion exchange resin that reduces lead and copper. It also reduces pesticides (lindane, atrazine, and 2,4-D) and chemicals that are linked to increased cancer risk (benzene, TTHMs, and toxaphene)."
On the topic of Pur Filters and Fluoride reduction:
"Our household water filtration products leave the benefical fluoride in your drinking water, which may already be present."

The word is out – bottled water sales are drying up. Depending on which study you refer to, sales down between 1 and nearly 10 percent worldwide in 2009, the first in almost 40 years. In July 2009, the rural community in Australia Bundanoon turned off water supply bottled water, prohibit their sale entirely. and several U.S. cities (like Seattle and San Francisco) will no longer buy bottled water in city funds.
That’s good news for the environment, since most of the plastic containers used for bottled water may not be recycled. And the costs (fiscal and environmental) involved in making plastics and distribution of bottled water limit astronomical. In addition, over 25 percent of bottled water sold in the U.S. alone is simply treated and purified municipal water.
It is also the health and safety into account. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides public water. The EPA requires multiple daily tests for bacteria and make the results available to the public. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides bottled water. The FDA only requires weekly testing, and its findings with the EPA or the public.

PUR Water Dispenser, Stage 2 filtering system fits on refrigerator shelf. The 18-cup dispenser reduces lead and is the only dispenser to remove 99.9% of microbiological cysts (cryptosporidium and giardia), while leaving beneficial fluoride in the water. It conveniently fits in the sink for refilling with a special fill-tray design that helps distribute weight and handles that make it easy to carry. Plus, the slim, space-saving design makes optimum use of your refrigerator shelf…….. This is the best water filtration system I have had the privilege of using. I have tried Brita and Dupont. Both of them had their set backs, but this system doesn’t have any problems. It’s the largest system out there, it creates the best tasting water, and it dispenses water in an easy manner. If you are looking for the best, don’t look any further. This is the one!!
