Abstract:
This study was conducted to estimate the relative contribution of particular foods and drinks to dietary fluoride intake in 94 preschool Japanese children in low-fluoride areas. The mean daily fluoride intake from all beverages (548 +/- 162 g) was 0.108 mg (SD = 0.082), accounting for 37% of the total dietary fluoride; tea beverages showed the highest value, 0.093 mg (SD = 0.081), 32%. That from staple food and side dishes was 0.183 mg (SD = 0.146), 63%, followed by cereals (12%), fish (8%) and bean products (5%). In conclusion, the contribution of beverages excluding tea to dietary fluoride intake is small in Japanese children.
