Whats the deal with flouride? why do water bottles made "safe" for young children now say "with natural flouride?" arent we supposed to keep them flouride "free?"

Fluoride helps teeth: Fluoride in excessive amounts is not healthy, but in proper levels will build stronger teeth for kids of any age. While distilled water has none, most natural waters & city water supplies have the proper amount.

NO!: Fluoride in a safe dose is a great inexpensive way to reduce decay.
