 Comments on the finding of toxin-induced blood vessel inclusions and alterations in neuronal and cerebrovascular ...
Although it has sometimes been simplistically thought that the fluoride ion, at 1 ppm, has the same effect irrespective of what else is present with it, the fact is that the toxicity of fluoride is affected by the degree of hardness of the water reflecting the levels of magnesium and calcium.
Magnesium fluoride and calcium fluoride are relatively insoluble, dissociating less into their respective ions, so that for a given fluoride concentration they may be less likely to produce adverse effects than the same fluoride concentration in the form of sodium fluoride.
When the fluoride is present with larger amounts of aluminium, such as 5 ppm of trivalent aluminium and about 10 ppm of fluoride or 50 ppm of trivalent aluminium and about 100 ppm of fluoride, the resulting overt toxicity is less.
