As a matter of fact he suggested I use it by choice, since the flouride in the water would be good for my baby's developing teeth. This was also the reason he encouraged tap water use for all my children. He told me not to boil the water, since boiling could actually concentrate any impurities that might exist in trace amounts (for example lead). At one point I lived in a house with a lead water main. I was instructed to send in my water to be tested. The result was that I should let the water run for a couple of minutes each morning, to eliminate standing water from the pipes that might have leached lead. I was allso told to only use water from the cold tap for eating and drinking & that I should NOT boil it for babies, young children. |
VEEEERY controversial, even among mainstream dentists.
