hmm
I guess if I assume a level of fluoride in water supply of 1.5ppm, then one litre water contains 1.25 *10E-6 *10E+6mg =1.25mg in one litre. I notice this amount.
Now green tea extract contains say 62.5ppm (and I assume they don't mean diluted as a tea in water, just the powder), so that means 2 caps contain only
2*62.5*10E-6mg = 1.25*10E2*10E-6= 1.25*10E-4mgso only 1/10000 the amount as in one litre of tap water, so I shouldn't notice it I guess...if this is what they mean by the concentration level.
pls let me know if this is the correct interpretation..just beginning to kickstart that part of my brain :-)
Guess its also a different fluoride compound in the green tea as well (a more natural ro our bodies kind)
