   British people get so mad at me when I mention they’ll get fluoride poisoning if they drink fifteen cups of tea a day

     @hidden @druid if there's no flouride to accumulate there's no flouride to be in it. It shouldn't be an issue if you get tea from halfway decent sources

     @druid The tea plant itself is a fluoride hyper accumulator. A cup of tea has a lot more fluoride than a cup of American tapwater

     @druid No problem! I learned because I found out that the number 1 source of "What the hell does too much fluoride do?" in the world is rural villages with tea based economies

     @hidden I read about Americans who have fluorosis in their bones from a lifetime of overconsumption, meaning that their bones are covered in jagged and sharp sections that hurt the flesh above simply by existing

     @snacks @hidden @druid even japan has it, apparently matcha is bad for it, i assume they get it from wind born pollution, it all goes to their leafs so it gets concentrated
