Wow, thanks for the information cyclonis. Very interesting. So it appears that immediately after changing my filter it may be removing a fair bit of fluoride, but that such filtration ability falls off quickly the more water is filtered.
Of course, it's hard to say how much that study applies...
Well, in the end GE did not provide any answers, they just said "we have not made any public statements about fluoride removal".
I actually thought the filter box said "does not remove fluoride" but I checked again and it doesn't say that (it doesn't mention anything about fluoride anywhere)...
Just noticed a reply from GE in my inbox. I must say I'm impressed with their responsiveness so far (email on a Saturday morning!) ... hopefully their "SmartWater team" that is doing further research will be able to give a useful answer.
Here is the email:

Thanks very much for the reply. I've actually submitted the question to GE customer service, and already got a response saying they would research it for me. So hopefully I will get some kind of answer ...
At the very least I can probably make them explain the statement on the box that it...

I am trying to figure out if my drinking water filter system removes some fluoride from my water. (I know it doesn't remove all as it's not specifically a fluoride...
