Overdosing of babies with fluoride
Dear Food Standards Agency,
I am reminded that the UK Government's Committee on Toxicity has twice recommended a NOAEL of 0.05 mg F/kg bodyweight/day for babies aged 6 months in order to protect them from Moderate Dental Fluorosis. For an 8 kilo baby, this means a recommended maximum of 0.4 mg F per day).
However, in a fluoridated area where the water is dosed up to 1mg F/litre and where the baby drinks one litre of formula per day, the baby is overdosed by 0.6 mg F/day.
Are fluoridated babies overdosed with fluoride?
Yours faithfully,
Joy Warren
