IT seems the Strategic Health Authority neglected the needs of the most vulnerable people in society when they voted to impose fluoridation on us.
In order to protect babies and young children, fluoride levels should be near zero, so fluoridated tap water is totally unsuitable for making up baby bottle feeds.
Bottled water is not a suitable alternative as the mineral content may exceed safe levels, and some sources may also be contaminated with bacteria or uranium and chemicals leached from the plastic bottle. Also, bottles labelled as 'spring water', conjuring up images of pure mountain springs, may just be nothing more than filtered tap water! As most filtration systems do not remove fluoride, what are mothers supposed to do? Use boiled rainwater?
