Re: [ozmidwifery] flouride suppliments in pregnancy

Now here's an interesting thought...my children didn't need braces on their teeth, yet nearly every other teenager we know has had them. We haven't been fluoridated, having also drunk rainwater or reverse-osmosis filtered water -- their teeth are wonderful. aviva ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Murphy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 11:25 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] flouride suppliments in pregnancy I can only speak from personal experience.  I lived in PNG when I was a young woman and had my babies there.  we drank only rain water and the big push in australia was for fluoride supplements.  I took them with one of my children and gave them all childrens doses when they were growing.  When his teeth came through he was the only one with discoloured teeth.  For that and all the other reasons about fluoride being a poison, I wouldn't recommend it.
