enjoyed it so I have tried most of the whole leaf types. Just one or
two tho. And white tea like silver needles was my most favorite

you please give the link. I've been buying my tea

PLEASE STOP CHEWING YOUR TEA LEAVES!!!!
I am assuming you are in the states or in another "westernized"
country.
Fluoride is in your toothpaste and in your drinking water. This is
generally natrium fluoride...

that would be a rather hefty ingestion of tea leaf that would produce
fluoride toxicity.

i have not heard of fluoride causing anything except in children's
teeth, and thats discoloration.

maybe someone who works in the emergency department could tell stories
of fluoride toxicity in children who ate fluoridated tootpaste.

if theres anything to worry regarding bones and teeth in the top
concerns is not fluoride.

you got me all interested in this subject,
not trying to "fight", but continue a discussion:

first of all,
osteosarcoma
i have yet to see something that had fluoride as etiology for

There is 1 case report in the USA, and thats a 52 year old lady who
drank 1-2 gallons of "double-strength" Lipton instant tea (whatever
that is) for "her entire adult life" (which means what ... about 20-30
years?), she got "mild skeletal fluorosis" which was discovered by
accident. her complaints were "Spinal
discomfort and stiffness for 5 years", "She had never had a fracture."
