Is fluoride in water safe for my child?
Yes. The American Dental Association (ADA) continues to support water fluoridation at the optimal range of 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million (ppm), as determined by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). According to the ADA, infant formula can be mixed with water that is fluoride free or contains low levels of fluoride. Babies less than one year old need less fluoride than everyone else. That’s why Nursery® Water has a fluoride level of 0.7 ppm or less.
Other sources that contain fluoride, according to the ADA, are fluoride toothpaste, fluoride mouth rinse, doctor prescribed fluoride dietary supplements, or naturally occurring fluoride in drinking water.
What is the purpose of adding fluoride to distilled drinking water?
The primary purpose in adding fluoride to distilled drinking water is to help strengthen teeth. Nursery® Water is purified water that is steam distilled for purity. Drinking water with added fluoride in the proper amounts has been shown to be so effective that the ADA supports municipal water fluoridation and refers to this as the single most effective measure to prevent tooth decay. This has also been endorsed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, labeling municipal water fluoridation as one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. 1

While I believe there is no conclusive evidence to prove that fluoride is detrimental to ones health, I dont see why someone would buy alleged water from a spring, when it is most likely rain water.
While the experts disagree on whether added fluoride in small amounts is necessary, companies as diverse as toothpaste manufacturers and more recently bottled water distributors have jumped on the bandwagon. Now one of them, Nursery Water, is under scrutiny by major environmental action groups.

WOW if this isnt photoshopped then that is crazy.... how can they justify adding fluoride to water for babies that do not need the "cavity protection" that fluoride supposedly provides.
Do you have a more complete image?
Information on the product?
I want to know what this is exactly and who is the company behind it.

Sorry, where the hell did i say that fluoride was safe?

So you're saying it is either safe or not safe? Non-conclusive is a cop out. Flouride is NOT safe, there, that wasn't hard. Or perhaps "they" should continue to use fluoride on you and I while the test results come in?
