Tea lovers will have less fluoride worry if they tell their water companies and legislators to stop adding money-wasting, unnecessary fluoride chemicals into their tap water. No American is, or ever was, fluoride deficient. Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. It's added to water supplies because organized dentistry would rather treat the water supply of low-income people than their teeth. Boiling water condenses fluoride. Many arthritic symptoms Americans experience could be a result of the fluoride in their tap water. Join the Fluoride Action Network FluorideAction.Net which, together with Dr Mercola (mercola.com) are working towards ending fluoridation in the US and Canada so you can enjoy your cup of tea with less worry.
