I doubt that flouride in tea is in the form of a simple salt, it is probably
bound up in some complex molecules I would think. Fluoride seems to
accumulate in the bones. Bioavailability in tea is lowered by the addition
of milk, presumably due to the calcium binding with the flourides. Little
good that does to us paleos though.
