Making headlines this week is a story about a 47 year old Michigan woman who, everyday for the last 17 years, drank a pitcher of tea made with more than 100 tea bags. The woman experienced chronic bone pain in her hips, arms and legs that she believed to be cancer, but was in fact caused by excessive levels of fluoride - resulting in extremely dense bones and brittle teeth. Doctors confirm that her bones were so brittle that biopsy instruments were unable to penetrate. Her teeth also became brittle to the point that they fell out. The case is so unusual that the New England Journal of Medicine recently covered the story, bringing fluoride back to the public attention but this time with a new focus on bone health.
