Ireland's Food & Safety Authority has a new reason to suggest mothers
breastfeed--in order not to give Ireland's babies fluoridated formula.  I
just received this end of year news from another list.  If someone has Dr.
Jack Newman's email address, please forward this to him.  This subject was
the basis of our first communication.

In Ireland the biggest moment [in 2003] came when a parliamentary
sub-committee had a public hearing on the Fluoridation Forum's report. What
emerged from this was the news that had not the Food and Safety Authority of
Ireland (FSAI) changed its recommendations on bottle feeding, fluoridation
would have been scuttled in Ireland. 

 

The original submission from this body to the Forum, voted on by 9 committee
members, was that babies should not be bottle fed with formula made up with
fluoridated tap water. When the pro-fluoridation lobby discovered this, the
screws were turned on behind the scenes and on the basis of phone calls from
two panel members, who were not present at the original meeting, the report
was changed. 

 

The new recommendation was "watered down" to a recommendation that mothers
should be encouraged to breastfeed their babies!
