Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Dear Group Members; Does anyone know the risks of bathing babies also in flouridated water? I understand for anyone, several glasses worth of chlorine is absorbed in bathing and I would suppose this translates to other water pollutants...Chlorine being poor influence on thyroid function among other issues... So this has no ayurvedic commentery from me, I do not know the relationship or how to purify flouride or clorine from the system in ayurvedic terms. Welcoming any insights!
