From the 12/09 issue of the New Yorker - probably behind a paywall:

As for any dusty bottles of Keeper Springs lying around: sip carefully. According to a 2009 chemical analysis, there was fluoride in Kennedy’s bottled water. Each serving of Keeper Springs, this analysis determined, contained up to 1.3 milligrams of the mineral per litre. That’s a higher concentration than is found in most tap water. Bartle laughed when a caller recently pointed this out. “That’s hilarious,” he said. “I didn’t know that.” Bartle called back a short time later. His wife had jogged his memory. “For a while, we had a source in upstate New York where the water was naturally fluoridated,” he said. “These two Iranian guys owned it. It was a pretty neat scenario, but we didn’t stay with them for long.” In any case, he added, Kennedy didn’t seem to have an issue with fluoride back then. “I never heard it mentioned.” ♦
