i've been posting a lot about fluoride recently, so i'm just going to post the lower and upper limits without further comment, and they are 4 mg & 10 mg, respectively. those limits are set by the nih. while fluoride consumption at levels much higher than that are not likely to cause fatalities, they may lead to problems with the absorption of other nutrients and gastrointestinal discomfort. in the long term, high levels of fluorine may lead to bone fractures and general skeletal defects. but, you can overdose on vitamin a, too - and will go blind without it. too much vitamin k and your blood clots and clumps up into a ball; too little, and you bleed to death. and, you know what happens when you inhale water, right? the difference between nutrition and poison is a fine line, indeed, and fluoride is not unique on that point. that is really what the skeptics get wrong - they fail to realize that almost anything at all that is healthy in the right doses is also fatal in the wrong ones.

natural fluoride levels in freshwater fluctuate dramatically and are well below these levels in most places. however, it is curious to note that amongst the highest concentrations of fluoride in fresh drinking water in the world occur in the rift valley in ethiopia, the repeatedly proven place of almost all human evolution. it seems likely that our ancestors first evolved whilst consuming drinking water that had as much as 12 mg/l of fluorine. to this day, fluorosis is actually common in some of the most impoverished areas of africa, and caries are low to nonexistent in these populations. so, the idea that fluorine is unnatural may need to be rethought, and the idea of fluorine deficiency may be better grounded than currently thought. many species of animals change the chemical composition of their shells as they age and molt. so, could it be the case that mild fluorosis is actually a beneficial process that arose in the context of human evolution and that cavities are the disease that develops from fluoride deficiency?

regarding fluoride metabolism, note that sodium fluoride is rapidly and efficiently uptaken in the stomach and rapidly excreted by the kidneys, with only small amounts migrating to bones and out into the saliva, where they are uptaken into the teeth. topical fluoride applications are not thought to be effective because absorption only occurs during specific points in the remineralization cycle and ceases altogether once the topical is removed; consumption seems to be more effective because the source from saliva is more persistent, and as such has the opportunity to work at the proper parts of the cycle. it follows that fluoride in toothpaste is really only effective if eaten, despite what anybody with any good sense says - it seems they are all wrong. for that reason, fluoridated water is, to paraphrase the cdc, one of the greatest public health triumphs of the 20th century. but, levels must be monitored closely, as well.

at doses of 1 mg/L, a healthy person would need to consume 4-5 L of water to ingest the required daily dose. upper limits of around 2 mg/L in drinking water are standard and instructive of how much fluoride should be consumed at once in children, which is not much. children have specific requirements because they maintain specialized cells called ameloblasts that create enamel. high levels of fluoride can lead to deposition in the tooth in children and a condition called fluorosis that can be beneficial if mild but problematic if strong; this does not happen in adults. as such, the epa sets an upper limit for adults at 4.0 mg/L. the preferred tactic is minimal, frequent, sufficient consumption of fluoridated water to ensure persistant salivary excretion and not large amounts taken at once as a narcotic, which may in the end be reswallowed and excreted, whilst causing havoc within the body. so, getting sufficient fluoride ingestion is relatively easy, if you have access to fluoridated water and are willing to drink as much water as you're supposed to drink.

windsor at one time fluoridated it's water. unfortunately, the dumbasses on the city council in this city removed the fluoride from the water, leaving residents of the region without an easily discernible way to consume fluorine as a dental nutrient. politicians have suggested topical use instead but, as mentioned, that is not remotely effective, unless applied constantly and very tactically - the applier would have to somehow be able to predict the uptake phase in the mineralization cycle, and be able to leave it on the teeth until the uptake phase has passed and then do that trick consistently. needless to say, that would be rather difficult, as there's no clear way to discern what phase your teeth are in. so, i've taken to ingesting toothpaste as a source of fluoride, instead, by adding it to water in concentrations that mimic the fluoridation process, which canada sets at an optimal level of .7 mg/L. 

so, i posted this at the beginning of november for fluoride:

guava - 30*.34/10000 = 0.00102 mg = 1000*(0.00102) µg = 1.02 µg

banana - 2.6

strawberry - 4.4

avocado - 10.5

kiwi - trace, but no data

soy milk - 1000*(6*1.33/10000) = .798 µg

ice cream - trace, bot no data

yogurt  - fluoride would kill the bacterial culture

yeast - fluoride kills yeast, too

vector - 1000*(15*.19/10000) = .285 µg

all bran - 1000*(45*.29/10000) = 1.305 µg

flax - trace

algal oil -  potentially relatively substantive, but not clear from any data

water: 1000*.1*(1.774 + .7) = 247.4 µg <----two cups of water + coffee

there's no sources there, but it's a starting point.

lets build some sources from that.

water:

i sent an email to the local company in windsor that came back with an answer of a background level of .125 mg/L, so that's the level coming out of the tap. i am taking two sources of toothpaste as a mixture to add to the water: roughly 1 g of sensodyne's novamin/fluoride (repair & protect) product (.104% fluoride) & roughly 1 gram of colgate's 5000 ppm fluoride product (prevident ). that means there's going to be 1000*.00104 + 1000*.005 = 6.04 mg of fluoride in the used toothpaste, which is then watered down to 100 ml. 12.5 ml is put in each cup of water or coffee; .125*6.04 = .755. so, each cup of water contains .755+ .125*.85 = .86125 mg of fluorine, at concentrations of 1.01 mg/L and each cup of coffee contains .125*6.04 + .125*.35 = 0.79875, at a concentration of 2.28214285714 mg/L. while higher than most drinking water, i'm content with a somewhat therapeutic dose of fluoride in my coffee.

kiwi:

https://www.tees.ac.uk/docs/docrepo/research/finalfluoridedatabase.pdf

water = .125*.85 + 6.04*.125 = .86125 mg = 861.25 µg

========

guava -  (1000*1000)*((30*.34/10000)/100) = 10.2 µg

banana  - 2.6 µg

strawberry  - 4 µg  <----new source is a little lower, but let's standardize

avocado  10.5 µg

kiwi  - 1*.69 = .69 µg

soy - (1000*1000)*((6*1.33/10000)/100)*1.6 + 1000*.1*.9203*.4 = 49.8 µg 

ice cream - 15*.825 = 12.375  <---higher than i thought, but ok

yogurt - 12*.5 = 6 µg <------""

yeast ~ 0. fluoride is an anti-fungal.

vector cereal - 19*.15 = 2.85 µg <-----note conversion factor error. should be (1000*1000)*((15*.19/10000)/100) = 2.85.

all bran cereal -  27*.45 = 12.15 µg <----likewise, there was an error in conversion, here, and the source is a little different.

flax -  trace

algal oil -  trace. while salt water seaweed is high in fluorine, this oil is made from a freshwater algae that exists in surface water, which has very low fluorine contents.

(861.25 + 10.2 + 2.6 + 4 + 10.5 + .69 + 49.58 + 12.375 + 6 + 0 + 2.85 + 12.15)/4000 =

0.24304875 ---->24%

neon, like helium, would be almost impossible to manage to eat. you could choke on it, though. otherwise, you can breath it in and out in moderate amounts.

the next up is sodium, and this is the first one that's easily measurable and can be worked out conventionally.

disclaimer:

i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

diet options:

daily:

 2 ) pasta salad bowl:

- one tbsp of imitation bacon bits (isoflavones, maybe)

- olives?

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

- broccoli?

3) eggs:
- salami (45 g) (25% b1, 12% b3, 5% b5, 11.5% b6, 0% b9, 20% b12)

- rice (100 g) (60% b1, 35% b3, 4% b5, 6% b6, 69% b9)

==========

remaining items to enter or investigate:

15 amino acids: <----for sure, eventually

1) histidine, 2) isoleucine, 3) leucine, 4) lysine, 5) methionine, 6) phenylalanine, 7) threonine, 8) tryptophan
9) valine, 10) arginine, 11) cysteine, 12) glycine, 13) glutamine, 14) proline, 15) tyrosine
+ measure 6 non-essential

carotenoids (not including pro-vitamin a): <---maybe
1) lutein, 2) zeaxanthin, 3) lycopene, 4) phytofluene, 5) phytoene, 6) astaxanthin, 7) capsanthin, 8) canthaxanthin, 9) cryptoxanthin

chlorophyll:
1) chlorophyll a
2) chlorophyll b

other molecules required for proper metabolic functions:
5) ergothioneine  (cannot synthesize)   

6) pqq - .2 mg, or 400 ng, but can't find good sources

7) queuine - no rdi determined. milk, whole wheat, tomatoes.

10) creatine? (avoidance? creatine increases muscle mass (which is bad.) but also improves brain function (which is good). careful.) 

11) ribose

12) "nucleic acids"?

13) don't forget about heme

14) carnosine

glucose:
i'm more concerned about diabetes than weight gain, so...
the glycemic index is:
running total...

fiber:
i don't need many different types, i just need some. i'm not worrying about this.

& water

also, let's measure flavonoids:

anthocyanidins:
1) pelargonidin, 2) delphinidin, 3) cyanidin, 4) malvinidin, 5) peonidin, 6) petunidin, 7) rosinidin

flavonols:
1) isorhamnetin, 2) kaempferol , 3) myricetin, 4) quercetin  [rutin, troxerutin], 5) fisetin, 6) kaempferide

flavones:

isoflavones:
1) daidzein, 2) genistein, 3) glycitein, 4) biochanin A, 5) formononetin

i should try to measure some further phytoestrogens:
1) matairesinol, 2) secoisolariciresinol, 3) pinoresinol, 4) lariciresinol, 5) coumestrol

& finally, let's also measure:
1) saponins, 2) ursolic acid (& precursors), 3) cafestol, 4) resveratrol, 5) ellagic acid, 6) coumarin, 7) tyrosol, 8) hydroxytyrosol, 9) oleocanthal, 10) oleuropein, 11) gingerol, 12) phytic acid
