This is alarming! I just tried to find some kind of a food chart showing fluoride and it's very confusing though I am surprised at how much there actually is in our food! One article linked to below even said that iceberg lettuce can contain as much as 180 times more than in tap water. If that's true then what validates adding it to tap water in the first place? Also there is no distinction between naturally occurring calcium fluoride and man made forms like the kind used in pesticides and/or sodium fluoride which is a hundred times more toxic. I wonder how much of the fluoride used in iceberg lettuce is natural and how much is from pesticides.
I looked up beef and according to the chart in the first link below it's actually very low.
This new information makes the fluoride in tea seem totally hyped up and insignificant. It also makes me wonder how harmful the 900 PPM in a teaspoon full of Azomite really is.
This is getting really confusing! Seems like the more I study the less confused I should be but I am finding it to be the opposite.
To my knowledge the studies on fluoride and tooth decay were all done with calcium fluoride but the stuff they add to drinking water is sodium fluoride which doesn't make any sense unless they are intentionally trying to drug or poison us.

The fluoride food chart below claims it's based on 200 calorie servings which is very confusing because sweetened tea would have a lot more calories than unsweetened. As confusing as it was, it was the best information I could find.

Ya I too was looking up fluoride in food! Its unavoidable! Unless you grow your own food with fricking filtered
water and have pristine soil.
Im right with ya lol! I just wanted to know If I should be drinking a certain kind of water or spring water to avoid fluoride
and I ended up down a week long rabbit hole researching fluoride. It's actually not easy to find detailed information
and quite hard to properly ask my questions. Is Natural Calcium Fluoride in soil and water something we should avoid
or something that is harmless or beneficial? (who really has information on this? doctors, biologists, earth scientists?)
A confusing question. When I ask that question on other forums it just turns
into a debate on if the government is trying to poison us with sodium fluoride and its effects on dental heath.
I do know that my Dad is 70 and is in good health and I have never seen him drink a bottle of water in my life.
He's drank about a pot of coffee every morning with tap for 40 something years with Tap water, drinks
tap water, cooks food in tap water., bathes in it, etc..... Maybe it will do something to him one day lol.
My grandma is 87 and drinks pots of tap water coffee everyday for her whole life also.
