“…In contrast to other studies [7,18,25–30], the current results relating to fluoride concentrations in bottled waters showed these to be lower than in other drinks. This may be related to the fact that these products are manufactured and distilled by evaporation in Mexico, a method that eliminates minerals.…”

“…The very mild and mild forms of fluorosis have increased in the United States as compared with the prevalence 50 years ago [US Public Health Service, 1991], Ingestion of fluoridated toothpastes and mouthrinses by young children [Szpunar and Burt, 1987], prolonged use of infant formula prepared with fluoridated water [Bawden, 1992], and im proper prescription of fluoride supplements [Pendrys and Katz, 1989;Tate et al, 1990;Surovik et al, 1992] have been implicated in epidemiological studies as possible sources of fluoride responsible for the increased prevalence of fluoro sis. Other probable sources that contribute to fluoride intake include professionally applied topical fluorides [Ripa, 1991], foods prepared with fluoridated water that are trans ported to and consumed in nonfluoridated communities [Clovis and Hargreaves, 1988], and beverages such as tea that have a high fluoride content Opinya etal., 1991], Results obtained in this study show that depending on the brand, the kind of tea and its caffeine level, the fluoride con tent in tea infusions may vary over severalfold.…”

The fluoride contents of infusions prepared from 44 different brands and types of teas were measured. Fluoride concentrations ranged from 0.34 to 3.71 ppm (mean = 1.50 ppm) in caffeinated tea infusions, 0.02–0.14 ppm (mean = 0.05 ppm) in herbal tea infusions, and 1.01–5.20 ppm (mean = 3.19) in decaffeinated tea infusions. This is the first report of the fluoride content of decaffeinated teas. The mean fluoride content of decaffeinated tea infusions is significantly (p < 0.01) higher than the corresponding caffeinated tea. The use of mineral water containing a naturally high fluoride level during the process of decaffeination is the most likely explanation of the above observation.

“…9,13,14 Tate et al noted considerable variation in fluoride levels across a sixmonth period in 8% of their sample, including one brand that had a 54% reduction in its fluoride concentration due to a change in the water source. 28 Fluoride concentrations may be slightly higher at the source as fluoride binds to glass, reducing the fluoride levels in water packaged in glass containers and resulting in a difference between the actual and reported levels. [13][14][15]18,26 However, none of the brands in this study which recorded fluoride levels on the label were packaged in glass containers.…”

Fluoride in still bottled water in Australia

Background: This study measured the fluoride content in a range of still bottled waters available in Australia. Increasing decay rates in children have prompted speculation that bottled water consumption may be impacting on dental caries rates. International studies have demonstrated that the fluoride levels in bottled water are often negligible, however there is little information about the fluoride content of still bottled water in Australia. Methods: One hundred different brands (300 samples) of still bottled water were obtained in Australia and tested using ion chromatography and an ion-selective electrode method. Results: The tested fluoride levels ranged from <0.1 to 1.6 mg ⁄ L. Nine per cent of the samples reported fluoride levels within the range recommended for reticulated water in Australia, providing a dental health benefit. One per cent of samples recorded fluoride values greater than this range, from 1.2 to 1.6 mg ⁄ L. The majority of samples (91%) recorded fluoride levels below 0.6 mg ⁄ L. Conclusions: Better information about the fluoride levels in bottled water is of value, particularly for communities lacking access to a fluoridated drinking water supply.
