Effect of fluoride on chemical constituents of tea leaves.

July-September 2009 | Fluoride | Li C, Nib D. | 42(3):237–243.
The tea plant takes up F from the soil and accumulates it in its leaves where it becomes a major source of F. As seen in Table 3, F content in tea leaves showed an increasing tendency as its concentration in the nutrient solution increased with a very high positive correlation (r=0.9667, p<0.01). A substantial amount of F is released during tea infusion and nearly all (about 94.9%) of the released F is absorbed by consumers (27). Since there is increasing evidence that F exposure may actua
