Why the fluoride in your water is bad

Is fluoride in your water a bad thing?

According to recent reports, fluoride is causing serious side effects among certain American communities. The side effect is called fluorosis, a permanent discoloration of the teeth that is reaching epidemic levels in the US.

Is Baby Water with Fluoride Safe for Infants?

In a recent British survey, moms confessed to spending more than $7,000 by the time their child had his or her first birthday. This statistic illustrates just how far new parents are willing to go to ensure children are taken care of well. But what if the products new parents invest in are actually harmful? That question is being raised as US Court of Appeals agrees to hear oral arguments in the Nemphos vs. Nestle case. Ms. Nemphos alleges her daughter developed fluorosis from being exposed to a special type of high-fluoride bottled water that Nestle markets as being particularly beneficial in helping children develop strong teeth. Fluorosis is a permanent discoloration of tooth enamel, and Ms. Nemphos aims to recover damages to compensate her for the cost of treating the condition.

The fluoride debate has garnered greater attention recently after the US Court of Appeals agreed to hear oral arguments in the Nymphos vs. Nestle case. Ms Nymphos claims Nestle is responsible for her daughter’s permanently discolored teeth (a condition known as fluorosis). Ms. Nymphos alleges her daughter developed fluorosis after drinking Nestle Baby water for many years, a product the company openly markets as a highly fluoridated water designed to improve children’s teeth and oral health.
