EPA.gov "1. Fluoride in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: Animal feed at 130 parts per million (ppm), beef, meat at 40 ppm; cheese, post harvest at 5 ppm; cocoa bean, post harvest at 12 ppm; coconut, post harvest at 40 ppm; coffee, post harvest at 12 ppm; cottonseed, post harvest at 13 ppm; egg at 850 ppm; ginger, post harvest at 13 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, fodder and straw group 16, post harvest at 130 ppm; grass, forage, fodder and hay group 17, post harvest at 130 ppm; ham at 20 ppm; herbs and spices group 19, post harvest at 50 ppm; milk at 3 ppm; nut, pine, post harvest at 10 ppm; other processed food at 70 ppm; peanut, post-harvest at 13 ppm; rice flour, post harvest at 98 ppm; and vegetable, legume, group 06, post harvest at 6 ppm."
[color:"blue"] Did anyone see the 130 ppm in animal feed and say "poor animals"? I wonder if this would make a cow mad. The eggs at 850 ppm are powdered, not fresh.
Wait, it gets better! When addressing Cumulative Effects, this is what they say.[/color]
"The Third Report on Nutrition Monitoring in the United States says that ``Food contributes only small amounts of fluoride and monitoring the diet for fluoride intake is not very useful for current public health concerns."
[color:"blue"]That's known as "cherry picking", the fluoride in food was way too high to approve, so they cite a report and move on. We aren't moving on because, just before the magic happened, they waived a wand, here it is. [/color]
"Fluoride is naturally present in both food and water in
varying amounts, and has been added to public water supplies to fight dental caries. The recommended concentration of fluoride (usually as fluorosilicic acid) in treated water supplies is 0.8 to 1.0 ppm."
