Tests were carried out on 49 tea bags ranging from own brands to decaf
Fluoride levels varied with the lowest levels in specialty teas at 0.72mg
This compares to 2.3mg in a Tesco original tea bag and decaf was higher
Drinking tea and bad teeth have long been unflattering stereotypes associated with the English.
But a new study has revealed how a traditional brew can in fact help to strengthen our gnashers - with budget brands coming out on top.
Tests on 49 tea bags found drinking about four cups a day gave people the daily recommended intake of fluoride - known to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay.
Cheaper blends and decaffeinated versions were found to contain the most fluoride, which comes from the soil where the tea is grown.
The poor who buy the cheap tea get dumber if fluoride does lower IQs
