13. calcium fluoride, or silica fluoride?

I understand that natural news is not a "credible news site" but what about the point that the op brings up?

I would guess that the naturally occurring fluoride found in juices is a bit different then the silica fluoride that you get from smoke stack scrubbers. (For those that didn't read the article you can probably guess which type of fluoride is dumped into the water supply.

So because of the un trustworthy source of this info, further research would be required to determine the source and composition of the "fluoride" in drinking water. I would also like to know what type of fluoride is in tooth paste and other products.

I think it's a big deal if the fda or who ever is supposed to be in charge is recommending one type of fluoride, and another type is used because of its availability.
