Kids drinking out of a garden hose

wrote: I have read reports that is because several brands of bottled water are not out of the tap and, therefore, do not have added fluoride. Talk about mixed blessings! In the town where I grew up, pregnant women and young children were to drink bottled water because the local water supply wasn't safe for them. It had gyp in the water. As an ex-boyfriend once said, "You can eat our water with a fork." There are instances when bottled water is great, but I am beginning to see that perhaps drinking it all the time can lead to problems too. -- Daye Momma to Jayan EDD 11 Jan 2004 |

Some well water has naturally occuring fluoride. Fluoride in drinking water can make a difference even if fluoride toothpaste is used. (Of course things like genetics, diet etc. also make a difference.) -Marjorie |

Kids drinking out of a garden hose
Even with the fluoride in the tap water, Lillian still has fluoride tablets
at night (as well as normal toothpaste). We drink bottled water often, but it is more for the "taste", we just like it better. ) -- As Always, Anji "illecebra" wrote in message news On Tue, 05 Aug 2003 16:56:47 -0400, Daye wrote: On Mon, 4 Aug 2003 21:39:47 EDT, "Jeff Utz" wrote: Bottled water is not all it is cracked up to be.
