Realizing there are extremely low levels of fluoride in human breastmilk,
the Codex regulation rejects any fluoride from being included in infant
formulas.  It is strange to read this news release below being celebrated as
exclusively breastfed babies are protected from excess fluoride ingestion.  

Bottled water companies are now allowed to state that fluoride added to
bottled water protects against dental caries.  But the FDA has then quietly
said the ADA and bottle water companies may not make any such health claims
for infants.  Formula feeding mothers, fathers and care givers still need to
be to be educated not to use fluoridated tap or bottled water for making up
infant formula, as it is not approved for a totally liquid diet.

From a nutritional lobbying entity:  (not from me)
The Natural Solutions Foundation believes that the US position in support of
60 ugm of fluoride per 100 kcal of infant formula represents another
instance of US support of industry positions in Codex matters over health
considerations. Leading scientists have called for a ban on all fluoride
usage in light of its devastating impact on health.

Today, we changed Codex from inside and protected every bottle-fed infant on
the planet.  Today is a day for celebrating!
The bottle-fed infants of the world (and their loving, caring parents) owe
the Government of South Africa a huge vote of thanks. Instead of being
poisoned with baby formula containing added fluoride, instead of having
their bones and teeth weakened, their joints stiffened, their thyroids and
immune systems depressed, their lives shortened by leukemia, osteosarcoma
and other cancers, instead of all these miseries, the babies of the world
can drink their infant formula assured of baby formula to which fluoride
cannot be added!
