<p2 style="font-size:18px;"> Granite and volcanic rocks are extremely high in fluoride, due to large amounts of fluoride-rich minerals, including: biotite, fluorite, amphibole, apatite. These high-fluoride deposits rise through faults and hot springs into groundwater. Prolonged exposure to these high levels of fluoride has been correlated to diseases such as dental and skeletal fluorosis. These diseases have most severe impacts in young children, whose enamel is still developing at the time of fluoride exposure. Please see our interview with Maiko Suzuki to learn specifically how fluorosis manifests in the teeth.
