Did anybody know that fluoride toxicity could worsen IBS?

I was just doing some research on tyrosin and came across some disturbing facts about drinking tea, of which I drink a lot. There's more bad news! High fluoride contents are found in a variety of foods now, tea is just one of the higher numbers along with seaweed. Plus some communities have fluoridated water which adds to this health threat.

Both green and black teas contain high levels of fluoride and aluminum. High fluoride intakes may cause IBS, brittle bones, cancer, ADHD, chronic pain and the list goes on.

A combination of high fluoride and high aluminum appears to be involved in Alzheimers disease. Due to environmental pollution, teas are now very high in both of these toxins.

Per the first website I first list following this, Tea has about 32 ppm per liter, Sardines 11 ppm, Salmon 5.77 ppm, shrimp 4.5 ppm, carrots 2.5 ppm. The EPA's "safe" amount for fluoridated drinking water is 1ppm, figuring that people drink four 8oz glasses of water per day. I figure that I am taking in at least 50 times the safe amount by drinking tea all day long! Maybe this is why I have IBS, Arthritis, Degenerative Disk Disease, etc.
