Re: Fluoridated water for infants ?
any evidence of fluoride transfer through the ether?
I don't think that the guvment will ever completely reverse on fluoride, do you?
Here's a more recent study:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2612944/
"The plasma fluoride concentration displays an increase along with fluoride intake. This increase is, however, attenuated due to distribution to the interstitial and intracellular fluid uptake by calcified tissues and renal excretion."...
..."Theoretically, a limited transfer of fluoride from plasma to breast milk should occur.21 The mechanism(s) responsible for the selective transfer of fluoride into breast tissue is obscure.21 It is thought that a physiological plasma-milk barrier functions against to fluoride.1,2,6 Despite high doses of supplementary fluoride administered to the mother, the child receives a maximum dose of only 0.2% of the mother’s fluoride intake.1,2 The results obtained in our study confirmed these conclusions. It should, however, be noted that the fluoride content transferred through breast milk is less than those present in cow’s milk and in infant formulas, utilized as routine substitutes for breast milk. Rahul et al3 found that fluoride concentrations of various commercially available infant milk formulations ranged from 1.95 ppm to 7.45 ppm and fluoride content of cow’s milk samples was 0.12 ppm; values exceeding those of breast milk."
