HERE we are in the only nationally fluoridated country in Europe applauding the good judgment of the American Dental Association (ADA) and the British Fluoridation Society (BFS) for advising parents to use water with little or no fluoride for infant formula only to learn from these two authorities (Letters, October 27) that they consider the risk of fluorosis to babies is negligible.

I WAS very concerned to read in Claire O’Sullivan’s report headlined ‘Tap water warning for baby formula’ (October 5) that the anti-fluoridation organisation, Voice, is seriously misrepresenting recent advice from both the American Dental Association and the British Fluoridation Society.

LETTERS have been sent to maternity hospitals from an environmental group warning them of the dangers of using tap water in newborn babies’ formula feed.
