GREEN TEA FLUORIDE AND ORGANIC FOODS

[Guest guest]

I have also read that tea accumulates a lot of fluoride but it is not

because the irrigation water is recycled from fluoridated water.

As far as I know there is no tea grown in the USA and the countries that

do grow tea like Ceylon,India,China don't fluoridate their water.

Also a lot of tea grown high in the Himalayas is probably pretty safe.I

always buy organic tea so this makes me feel better.

By the way there is nothing in Organic standards that outlaws

fluoridated water to be used in or on organic foods

One time I called Santa Cruz organic juices to ask what was the source

of the filtered water used in their juices.

I was told that juice made on the west coast is from wells in Chico Ca.

The juice made on the east coast was from filtered water from public

water supply that was fluoridated.Since removing fluoride from water

takes costly

special filters this water still contained fluoride even though it was

an organic juice.

The person told me there were no regulations on fluoride and organic foods.

Dr.Weil suggests that the fluorides in green teas are

purely " natural " fluorides are beneficial and essentially do not

pose a problem. The risks of synthetic fluorides in tap water are

well known and not even to be compared with naturally occurrring

fluoride.

 

 

" studies at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry have

shown that compounds in black tea can destroy or suppress growth and

acid production of cavity-causing bacteria in dental plaque.

 

Black tea also affects an enzyme responsible for converting sugars

into the sticky material that plaque uses to adhere to teeth.

 

Furthermore, upon exposure to black tea, the Illinois researchers

learned that certain plaque bacteria lose their ability to adhere to

others, thereby reducing the total amount of dental plaque that

forms on teeth.

They also found that rinsing with black tea for 30 seconds, five

times in a row (in three-minute intervals), stops plaque bacteria

from growing and producing the acid that breaks down teeth and

causes cavities.

In addition, tea contains fluoride, which may further explain why

it helps protect teeth! " .

 

 

Cyanide is a known poison, however naturally occurring cyanides

(laetrile in apricot pits) can be beneficial to our health.

Vitamin F (Fluorine) - Abundant in the Camellia plant family.

 

Green tea contains 40-1900 ppm (parts per million) of fluorin.

Mature leaves contain more than young buds.

 

Bancha tea, (from mature leaves) contains a lot of fluorine.

 

Health Benefit: Flourine adheres to the surface of the teeth

producing an antioxidant coating this helps prevent cavities.
