5. Buy Organic Grape Juice (and Wine!)

Unfortunately, many of the vineyards in the US use a pesticide that contains fluoride, called cryolite. This means that most grape juice and wine (especially white wine and white grape juice) contain high levels of fluoride. The USDA reported back in 2005 that most white wines and white grape juice tested at more than 2 PPM for fluoride contamination. If you find organic varieties too expensive, choose wines and grapes from Europe.

 

6. Watch Out for Black and Green Tea

Although both black and green teas are healthy, they can contain fluoride. Younger tea leaves contain far lower levels of fluoride. Avoid all bottled, canned, or instant teas, as these have the highest levels of fluoride. Drink white tea and green tea from Japan to get the health benefits these teas have to offer without the dangers of fluoride.

 

7. Avoid Non-Stick Cookware

Although many people are aware that non-stick (Teflon) cookware is known to cause many health problems if it becomes overheated, very few people know that non-stick cookware can significantly increase the fluoride content of your food, even if the pan is not overheated. Use copper, stainless steel, or iron cookware.
