Just Say No A friend called me from the grocery store because she knew I'd be incensed. In the bottled water aisle she'd spotted a product called Nursery Water, with a picture of a beautiful baby covering nearly the entire label. It's purified water with - yep, you guessed it - added fluoride! My friend read from the label: "Specially formulated for infants and toddlers. Use it for drinking, diluting juice, mixing with cereals and preparing baby formula." She was right - I was incensed. I had to wonder: If it said clearly on the label that fluoride is a waste by-product of aluminum manufacturing, do you think people would be lining up to give it to their infants? As HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., has pointed out in previous e-Alerts, there's no one on earth suffering from a fluoride deficiency. To Your Good Health, Jenny Thompson Health Sciences Institute
