Fluoride content is inversely related to the age of the leaves, and the quality of the tea. Green teas are always made from the youngest leaves, and would have the least fluoride of any tea products. Brits have been drinking tea daily for generations, without evidence of fluoride toxicity. There's no reason to worry about green tea, IMHO.
