May 2013 | Food Research International | Chan L, Mehra A, Sakat S, Lynch P. | 51(2):564-570
Highlights • Fluoride concentrations were determined in UK tea infusions and products. • UK economy tea contained elevated fluoride, comparable to Chinese brick tea. • Fluoride concentration significantly varies depending upon the type of tea. • We report a risk of high exposure to fluoride if consuming 1L/day of Economy tea. • Tea consumption alone can exceed the dietary reference intake of fluoride.
