> I have read flouride is a bioaccumlator

Well, that's something I never heard about, and contradicts even basic high-school chemistry.

Where did you read it?

There is nothing about bioaccumulation there.

Fluoride is one of those ions that diffuse thought and out of our bodies almost like there is no barrier anywhere.

Animals that eat fluoride-containing plants may accumulate fluoride. However, the fluoride accumulates primarily in the bones or shell rather than in edible meat.
