Fluoride and Babies

nurserywater.jpg

The American Dental Association issued an alert on November 9 warning parents not to use fluoridated water when mixing baby formula. It seems that they just discovered that fluoride ingested during infancy is extremely dangerous.

"The dentists are worried that fluoride exposure at this age will permanently damage teeth, not protect them. A growing body of research also links fluoride to weakened bones, reduced thyroid activity, and possibly bone cancer in boys."

Despite this warning, Wal-Mart continues to sell a fluoridated water exactly designed for this purpose.

The Environmental Working Group is starting a letter writing campaign in order to pressure Wal-Mart to stop selling this dangerous substance.

You can join this campaign online.
