We show that enhanced extra mixing in low-mass red giants can result in a
fluorine abundance that is correlated with abundance variations of other
elements participating in H burning, such as C, N, O and Na. This finding is
used to explain the fluorine abundance variations recently found in bright red
giants of the globular cluster M4.
