Current Sources of Fluoride

Fluoride also enters the water and the foods that we eat. Legally, no one is allowed to directly or deliberately add fluoride to our foods because fluoride is designated as an additive. Fluoride enters our food via the fluoride in public drinking water, which ultimately goes into the foods and beverages through processing and preparing foods. Fluoridated water is used to spray crops and used for cooking (fluoride does not boil off as chlorine does, it actually concentrates upon boiling, giving us greater fluoride exposure). We therefore wind up with an entire fluoridated food and beverage chain and we are involuntarily ingesting fluoride even when we reside in areas that do not have water fluoridation due to the foods we buy and ingest that come from fluoridated areas. And so, this out of control fluoride exposure is all done legally.
