Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I'm going to pass this around a couple of lists I'm on to see what their reaction is. Personally I'm at a loss and have never seen green tea advertised as a cavity preventer in that it has fluoride, but then I guess I haven't read the fine print on a tea box either!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 This is of concern for me! We just got water filters on everything and switched to non fluoride toothpaste for everyone. Can we make Kombucha with something other that tea? Tammy -- Fluoride in tea I was looking at a site from Dr. Mercola and it said there is fluoride in tea. http://www.mercola.com/2000/sep/10/green_tea_fluoride_thyroid.htm Does this cause concern for any of you?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 kombucha actually makes it soluable and then it flushes......no reason for concern.... that's what it does to all toxins... beaN Tim Meyer <soundhound@...> wrote: This is of concern for me!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi Tammy Please realize that flourine occurs naturally as a *trace* in probably all consumable material. As a trace element it is necessary for life. We wouldn't be alive w/o it in our systems. Now metering it in municiple water systems is one thing (we can certainly do w/o), however, if you plan on eliminating the atom from your diet, i believe you'll have a very difficult time finding anything consumable which has none. IOW's, please stay rational about this.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Makes one wonder how Okinawans live to be a hundred and still be able to walk since that web site says a person wouldn't be able to walk after 23 years of drinking just one cup a day and they drink much more than that! Thanks for the info though!

I don't know of any that really remove flouride and I've been interested in such a filter for years. I hope yours does. Please let me know the brand etc. Thanks and Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Check out http://www.sulis-health.co.uk and click on the Water Treatment link. They sell Pozzani under sink water filters and a few filter out flouride, the AF600 removes 90%. Also check out the Viktor Schauberger section about water, very interesting books on the subject. You can also buy KT book and everything to get you started for newbies, in the Kombucha section. Hope that helps > Hi, I would like to know which water filter you have that removes > flouride.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Last week I found a store called " Water To Go " which has a water system that filters out all fluoride, chemicals, and chlorine. It's about 10 ft. wide and 8 ft. tall. I can buy water for 45 cents a gallon and they also have oxygenated water which is delicious. I received a free gallon of it for being a new customer. Until I am able to get one of the filters on the web site you mention below, this seems to be a very good alternative.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Mark - it says flouriDe, not flourine. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 No, where would it go? As you may recall, you can't boil off Fl - that only concentrates it. KT is an oral chelator - it may be removed from your body in that manner.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 The whole leaves were tested. The study said that the flouride content in the tea leaves has increased in the last twenty years because of pollution. This wasn't an issue 100 years ago. > What about the water that made the tea they tested.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 The problem is the *flourine* atom (an element) which is the toxin in flouride mark Re: Fluoride in tea Mark - it says flouriDe, not flourine. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hmmmm flouride is generally a by-product of phosphate mining (for fertilizer). I wonder how the flouride is polluting the tea groves. Maybe the chinese don't remove the flouride the way we do and it's from the fertilizer they're using? mark Re: Fluoride in tea The whole leaves were tested.
