QUESTION
Effect of consuming food grown with water containing excess fluoride

How much is understood about the connection between consuming food grown using water with excess fluoride and health/fluorosis? There are several projects and interventions to provide safe drinking water in fluoride-affected areas as that connection is well-understood. What about the crops irrigated with water having high fluoride levels?
