Hi Cheri, here is a prior post that I saved in one of my folders on the

compu, I know I have more on the flouide, will post them if and when I

come across them. I am so unorganized!!!!!!

Jeff Waits back in Feb. posted this-

I did some research on fluoride after my then 4 yr old developed

fluoride poisoning after a regular dental appointment where his teeth

were cleaned. It appears that Fluoride can be neurotoxic, particularly

in children who cannot clear metal and other toxic substances. This is

not medical advice. Please research info on fluoride for yourself. We

use Tom's of Maine unfluorinated toothpaste (for about 16 months) and my

three children have not developed any tooth decay.

This is one post forwarded to me by a friend when I was searching for

info on fluoride. I hope the site mentioned is the one that listed

various studies regarding the use of fluorinated water. If not, please

Email me and I will try to find them.

PS One article stated that boiling fluorinated tap water in aluminum

pots actually leaches out the aluminum into the food/water. Pretty

scary to me.
