Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I have heard that organic tea doesn't have flouride, but you might want to check this out further.

I love Zhena's Gypsy Tea, Coconut Chai, and it's been a primary way for me to get my coconut oil in (since it solidifies on salad, even when I mix it with olive oil).

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 IF it is camellia sinensis it does. Camellia sinensis only grows well in fluoride rich soils. This is from my own reading, you can find out more with google. Coconut oil can be good in herbal teas, if you like them. I still drink coffee, so I often put it in my coffee. Or make VCO " candy " with it. I am learning, very slowly, to just eat it from a spoon. Not my favorite though. sol The Weltons wrote: > So, does organic tea not have flouride?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Here's a good article on Teas and the diffences between types of teas. There's also a chart of the Flouride content of each. White Tea has the least fluoride, Oolong Tea is the next lowest. I've bought some Oolong recently and I find it quite pleasing, less harsh tasting than regular black tea. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/phytochemicals/tea/index.html > > Sol > after reading your post I was very concerned as I drink a lot of tea and a couple of years ago swapped to green tea instead of black because I 'thought' it was better for me. > > I've now read several articles some saying fluoride is harmful, some saying it's not, but none of them are particulary helpful in saying what may help if you do have a lot of fluoride in your system/environment. > > Can you recommend any sites that would be good to read? > > Many thanks > > Hazel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks for sharing, . That was a really informative article. My mom has read (I believe in a Fife book) that to decrease the caffeine in tea, you can steep a tea bag in a small amount of water, discard that water and add fresh water to the bag. Do you think the same would apply to the fluoride? I don't believe ingesting fluoride has the benefit of preventing cavities that is often claimed (http://www.westonaprice.org/envtoxins/fluoride.html), and because it interferes with thyroid activity, I really want to limit my fluoride intake. I miss my tea, though! ---- shinycar10 <shinycar10@...> wrote: > Here's a good article on Teas and the diffences between types of > teas. There's also a chart of the Flouride content of each.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think you'd need something to measure the fluoride content to be sure. My understanding is that all teas are basically the same and come from the same plant, the differences are how each is processed afterward. The longer the tea is allowed to sit before processing, the more accumulation of fluoride and the different types of catechins evolve from this also. White Tea is processed quickest, Ooolong next, then Green & Black. The method you describe may work and it seems like it should decrease the fluoride. I've read though that if we aren't drinking BIG amounts of tea daily that the fluoride risk is pretty small. I hope that's true, the less the better. > > Thanks for sharing, .

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 , I was thinking about this again and it sure seems like it should remove some of the fluoride. I read that fluoride settles onto the leaves and also gets into the leaves from the soil. So I would think a quick dip of a tea bag into hot water, then tossing that water, should remove some of that foreign substance. Thanks for the idea, I'm planning to add that to my tea making routine. How Much Is Too Much? http://www.greentealibrary.com/GT%20 & %20Fluoride%20-%20Article.htm To put the tea-fluoride question into perspective, consider that the DRI (daily recommended amount) of fluoride is 3 mg. An entire liter of green tea contains only about half that amount, or between 1.2 and 1.7mg. Black tea contains roughly the same amount of fluoride and oolong tea slightly less. So even if you drank 7 eight-ounce cups of green, black or oolong tea every day, your fluoride intake would still be within the " safe zone.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Fluoride is a halogen along with many others in our 'environmental diet'. bromide is put into white flour(what moron doctor said to do this). Chlorine in our water and this includes fluoride. All these interfere with our thyroid by displacing iodine,or if there isnt enough iodine,the thyroid thinks these others are like iodine and so absorbs them. We can avoid the poisoning,or minimising our being poisoned, by making sure we have plenty of iodine,because the thyroid uses the iodine first. And lets not forget the rocket fuel thats poisoning the drinking water of over 20,000,000 americans.Bl**dy idiots that did this to people !! We have to protect our thyroid and one way is iodine. Im using seaweed because it has iodine thats easily used by the throid. 1.5 grams a day. I get mine from an asian food store in dried form (ito wakame)and then get the dried amount thats weighed and put it into water. I buy it this way because then i know what seaweed Im getting. Its a fantastic green color. I then wizz it up with a stick mixer. I have tried tablets of kelp,but none of them have the same effect as the getting the kelp this way. http://www.magnascentiodine.com/sircusiodine.mp3 The above is one link to a radio program of a Doctor who has become an iodine crusader. I dont agree with everything he says,but its interesting what he has to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are filters which will take out the flouride, although they aren't as common as the ones which take out chlorine.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Fluoride in the drinking water was used to subdue the concentration camp victims..... more docile...less resistant now they want to permit 'addition' of fluorides in 'foods' too, since it'll be in the drinking water used in manufacturing foods. An I G Farben executive who was imprisoned after the Nuremburg war crimes trials was behind the codex alimentarius from its inception. The codex alamentarius will remove our common law presumption of legality for anything (foods/supplements ) not strictly forbidden and change to the Napoleonic code's presumption of forbidden if not strictly permitted. It stinks of invasion of privacy. It stinks of European Hegemony. It recalls what happened to Germany 1930-45. It stinks of loss of autonomy. It stinks of meddling in the minutee of life.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hope you don't mind me reposting my earlier comment. It is relevant to this thread. I'm following that story as my hypothyroid mum will be affected as she lives there. In one of my more paranoid moments I once was convinced that the local tap water had some sort of tranquiliser in it as I'd woken up stupified by dreadful brain fog. My son and daughter wouldn't wake up in spite of my shaking them (later, of course, we learnt we'd been carbon-monoxide poisoned). My 1st view from the window was of 2 people staggering down the street in slow motion and visibly drooling. I later found out that they were on largactyl and were simply walking back from the chemist! It really threw me at the time. ;o) Incidentally, my friend works in the local chemist and she argues that drugging the local water supply would be overkill mainly because a very high percentage of locals are on antidepressants prescribed by my local health practice. Hmmm! Tracey ------------------------------ Compulsory fluoridation in Southampton? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1156783/Fluoride-water--dont- want-it.html One of the comments comes from someone in France who wrote " It has been stated that fluoride interferes with the functioning of the thyroid gland. This decision will result in even more people having to battle to obtain treatment for thyroid problems. " Interestingly the majority of comments are anti-fluoridation. People are wising up to the health-lies we've been fed, but is that enough to stop this from going through? Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi Sue, It's quite difficult to get rid of something at low level. Will look and see if anything might work apart from samarium salts, by co-precitation. It's odd that a bit of Armour in the water would release enough iodide to enable an insoluble iodide salt to form, though whether it would take out the fluoride as well needs work doing (not going to patent this method, either).

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I bought my reverse osmosis filter 10 days ago. People should know already (or be seeing the picture) that the powers that be no longer listen to the people, I have been waiting for this. They wait until the media quieten down then do as they like, or do as they like anyway. All we can do is maintain damage control. It is very sad but the world is getting worse, its a Global thing. Get yourselves a RO filter with pump (more efficient) and it also takes away that nasty chlorine taste anyway. God bless you and good luck, we need it. lotsa luv Dawnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
