We love our tea but could it be damaging our health?

Fancy a cuppa? Milk and sugar? Flouride with that?

A new scientific study claims that tea made with flouridated tap water is hazardous to health and that Irish people are most in danger.

Research published this month, in the Swiss-based International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, reveals excessive fluoride levels in tea in Ireland, and, say the researchers, provides the strongest evidence, to date, that the dietary fluoride intake in the general population can exceed the levels known to cause chronic fluoride intoxication.
