Fluorine (soluble fluoride) is also called fluoride.

From the the Dept of Preventative Medicine at Northwestern University Dietary Sources, Nutrition Fact Sheet: Flourine: "Limited data are available on the fluorine content of food. In plant sources, the fluorine content is a function of the amount found in the soil where the plants are grown. Salt-water fish such as salmon, halibut or orange roughy are good animal sources of fluorine. Concentrated amounts of fluorine are also found in tea leaves. Brewed tea provides 0.3 to 1.5 mg of fluorine in an eight-ounce serving."
from Food-Info, Wageningen University: tea, chicken, sardines, salmon, and cod. See this link for more info and additional foods that contain fluorine. http://www.food-info.net/uk/min/fluoride.htm
Food w/ Fluoride content (milligrams per 100 grams of food or beverage)
Crude sea salt - 3.5-5.5
Fish and seafood - 0.5-1
Fluoridated water - 0.1
Tea - 0.05-0.2
