Alan, is it too much to expect the quality of information on this list
to be up to Wikipedia standards?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fluoride

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_fluoride

How do you make a case that the fluoride ion in water is different
coming from sodium or calcium?

Given the source of many fluoride compounds from phosphate rock, it's
within reason to expect a little uranium.

But depleted uranium?  Not a chance.
