Treated water is safe for adults and babies

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.

I wish to make it quite clear that the British Fluoridation Society considers fluoridated water to be perfectly safe for all — including babies.

Voice seriously misrepresents one of our briefings in which we simply point out that parents can reduce even further the already low risk of their young children developing dental fluorosis while still obtaining the full benefits of fluoridated water.
