In most drinking waters, over 95% of total fluoride is the F − ion, with the magnesium–fluoride complex (MgF +) being the next most common. [citation needed] Because fluoride levels in water are usually controlled by the solubility of fluorite (CaF 2), high natural fluoride levels are associated with calcium-deficient, alkaline, and soft ...
Experts eventually discovered that the water in Colorado Springs had unusually high levels of fluoride — up to 12 milligrams per liter. Fluoride is a mineral found naturally in rocks, which then ...
