“…Thus, as indicated in Table 1, the weight-adjusted dietary fluoride intake by adults drinking fluoridated water appears to be similar to that of 2-year-olds. Singer et al (1980) reported an average of 1.2 mg/day, Taves (1983) reported an average of 1.8 mg/day, and SanFilippo and Battistone (1971) reported an average of 2.2 mg/day. However, there is considerable variation among individuals in such studies.…”

Intake and Metabolism of Fluoride

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the major factors that determine the body burden of inorganic fluoride. Fluoride intake 25 or more years ago was determined mainly by measurement of the concentration of the ion in the drinking water supply. This is not necessarily true today because of ingestion from fluoride-containing dental products, the "halo effect", the consumption of bottled water, and the use of water purification systems in the home. Therefore, the concentration of fluoride in drinking water may not be a reliable indicator of previous intake. Under most conditions, fluoride is rapidly and extensively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The rate of gastric absorption is inversely related to the pH of the gastric contents. Overall absorption is reduced by calcium and certain other cations and by elevated plasma fluoride levels. Fluoride removal from plasma occurs by calcified tissue uptake and urinary excretion. About 99% of the body burden of fluoride is associated with calcified tissues, and most of it is not exchangeable. In general, the clearance of fluoride from plasma by the skeleton is inversely related to the stage of skeletal development. Skeletal uptake, however, can be positive or negative, depending on the level of fluoride intake, hormonal status, and other factors. Dentin fluoride concentrations tend to increase throughout life and appear to be similar to those in bone. Research to determine whether dentin is a reliable biomarker for the body burden of fluoride is recommended. The renal clearance of fluoride is high compared with other halogens. It is directly related to urinary pH. Factors that acidify the urine increase the retention of fluoride and vice versa. The renal clearance of fluoride decreases and tissue levels increase when the glomerular filtration rate is depressed on a chronic basis.

“…In 1967-68, San Filipyo and Battistone (63) analyzed the fluoride content of four different diets from a "market basket" program in Baltimore, Maryland (1.0 ppm). The data indicated an average daily fluoride intake of 2.19 mg (63). More recently, Singer et al (64) estimated the average daily fluoride intake from 24 FDA "market basket" food collections made from 1975 to 1982 in different regions of the US.…”

This paper assesses, by comparing recent published evidence with Dean's pioneering work, whether an increase in the milder forms of dental fluorosis may have occurred since Dean's time. To the extent that the crude comparisons of recent research with historic studies are valid, the data indicate a slight trend toward more fluorosis today than would be expected based upon findings in the late 1930s and early 1940s. This suggested increase in fluorosis is not as clear-cut nor as widely accepted as the recent decline in the prevalence of dental caries. Thus, further study of the prevalence of fluorosis and caries in relation to fluoride ingestion will be required to help validate the trend, and to allow dental researchers and decision makers to plan for the future.

“…In American investiga tions of the daily F dose obtained by adults consuming F water, figures between 2 and 5 mg have most often been found [Marier and Rose, 1966;Spencer et al, 1969;San Filippo and Battistone, 1971;Singer et al, 1980], To the average figures obtained from F-salted dishes in our in vestigation, 1.2-1.8 mg F/day, should be added 0.3-0.5 mg/day obtained with other foods and a varying quantity, generally below 0.5 mg/day, obtained with tea and other beverages [Toth and Sugar. 1978;Singer et al, 1980], This indicates that the dose obtained by adults from our F salt was on the lower side of the dose range ob tained with F water.…”

The investigation had the purpose of studying the fluoride (F) doses obtained with fluoridated salt (F salt) under Swedish dietary conditions. 46 families in rural and urban areas of central Sweden used F salt containing 380 mg F/kg for 1 week and kept records of the quantities of every F-salted food consumed by the children and one of the adults of each family. A sample of every F-salted food was analyzed, and the F dose obtained was calculated for every F-salted dish, meal, and day. The results are reported separately for 1- to 3-year-old and 4- to 12-year-old children and for adults. The number of F-salted meals per day tended to increase with age, but in all groups the incidence of one such meal per day was near 50%, that of two F-salted meals per day about 25%. Average daily doses were slightly above 0.5 mg F in the younger children, 0.75–1 mg in the older children and between 1 and 2 mg in the adults. Single meal doses exceeding 1 mg were rare and distributed on several individuals. The F supply was fairly evenly distributed among 14 main types of foods except bread. On small groups of adults and children the blood plasma F concentrations were studied after a heavily F-salted test meal and compared with the corresponding concentrations after drinking large volumes of fluoridated water. The plasma F elevations were about as high after F salt as after F water although the test doses of F were more than twice as high with the Fsalt.
