Things I'd never thought of before . . .

Okay, so I was just lookin' around the Ozarka site today because we get our water delivered and I needed to find out when the next delivery date was. . . lo and behold. . . I noticed something. As a public health student, I'm always hearing about flouride in the water. It's a huge thing in public health because it was one of the earliest examples of the US Public Health system at work. I mean, we know that flouride in the water helps to reduce the number of cavities kiddos have so why not put it in the water? It also helps to remineralize adult teeth so, voila! Why not add it?

However. . . if you drink mainly bottled water. . . you're not getting flouride!! (hence the increase in childhood tooth decay over the last ten years, incidentally)

So today I called Ozarka and upgraded us (for an extra 1.00 per month) to FLOURIDATED bottled water!

Muy importante! It's just something I'd never thought of until today.

Incidentally, adults should also drink flouridated water . . . just an FYI.
