Abstract from Journal of the American Dental Association 127 (7) 895-902 1996

Few studies have investigated fluoride exposures from juices and juice-flavored drinks manufactured with water. In this study, the authors analyzed 532 juices and juice drinks for fluoride. Fluoride ion concentrations ranged from 0.02 to 2.80 parts per million, in part because of variations in fluoride concentrations of water used in production. Children's ingestion of fluoride from juices and juice-flavored drinks can be substantial and a factor in the development of fluorosis.

Key words: Dental fluorosis, Fluoride intake, Fruit juices, Fruit-flavored drinks.
