Tag: Natural fluoride sources

While it's a common misconception that sodium fluoride is an ingredient added directly to food, most dietary fluoride exposure comes from drinking fluoridated water and foods prepared with it. The concentration of fluoride, including the sodium fluoride compound, in a food product depends more on the source water and processing methods than on direct addition.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), community water fluoridation is one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century. But beyond tap water, many people want to know: where can I naturally get fluoride? This essential mineral is present in various foods and found naturally in certain water sources globally.
