From Dr. Richard Sauerheber
Fluoride levels are here reported for the public interest. A LaMotte Instruments electronic fluoride electrode meter was used to measure the free fluoride ion. (Some measurements shown employed a Hannah Instruments colorimetric photometer which likely measures fluoride from hydrofluoric acid HF, as well as the free ion).

Thanks for sharing this very informative article. Hope to read more article like this. I will share this to my friends.
What are the levels in Mountain Mist Spring water operating out of Tacoma?
Interesting facts thanks for posting I do know why some teas have more fluoride in them because they naturally take it up in their root system depending upon what I have read and been told by others studying this…. I guess I figured the bottled water industry that keeps in the minerals would have been higher…..like colas
