Some additional sources of fluoride include of course water if fluoride has been
added to the community water system but also many other sources as explained

>OK---first exposures comes from home.  Almost everyone in the US gets too high
a fluoride exposure due to food, water, and air contamination.   This sets up an
early disposition for fluoride poisoning.  In the US, it comes from burning
coal, fertilizers used on the food chain, and even fluoride put into the water
supply.  Even chicken nuggets from McDonald's cause fluorides problems due to
some of the bone scrapings with high fluoride content entering the processed
food.

>Next, in the Gulf, most nerve gases are fluorides.  Cipro is a fluoride.  
Blowing up the nerve gas depot released fluorides to air.   Blowing up the Iraq
nuclear programs released fluorides to air.  Blowing up oil refineries releases
fluorides to air, and even oil wells.   Fluoride are used in oil production
boosting in many areas.

>When the Vets come home from the Gulf, many if not most, had a greater toxic
retention of many long term internalized toxic materials.   If they were put on
drugs like cipro in the US, or even drugs like Prozac, then they continued to
increase the internalized toxic load for fluoride retained in their bodies.
