Fluoride In Chicken


NEW YORK - October 21, 2005 -- Some foods frequently eaten by babies
and toddlers contain fluoride, not listed as an ingredient, and can
damage children's teeth, according to the September, 2001, Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Because fluoride is added to most U.S. water supplies and that water is
used to process foods that feed and hydrate farm animals,
fluoride shows up in the strangest places.

Swallowed fluoride stores in bones as well as teeth. Meat removed from
bones by a machine invariably grinds bone powder into the finished
product. So mechanically separated meats, especially chicken, have much
more fluoride than most foods because they contain fluoride-rich bone
dust.

Fluoride is added to water supplies to reduce tooth decay "There is,
however, a narrow range between beneficial and undesirable effects of
fluoride intake," write Oregon State University researchers Fein and
Cerklewski, authors of "Fluoride Content of Foods Made with
Mechanically Separated Chicken."
