It's time to bottle fluoride
Soon bottled water may be available with or without added fluoride.
In the past, food laws have prevented fluoride from being added to bottled water, but Food Standards Australia New Zealand has unveiled recommendations to permit bottled water companies to voluntarily add fluoride to selected brands. If these recommendations are approved, those people who consume most of their water from bottles will no longer be missing out on the teeth-protecting benefits of fluoride – which is currently added to our water systems.
