Fluoride analyses of baby foods were carried out using a microdiffusion technique, which was found to be reproducible and accurate with less than 8% error. Analysis of 113 baby foods and drinks showed a wide range of fluoride concentrations: 0.01-0.31 mg F/kg for baby milk products; 0.04-0.72 mg F/kg for meat products; 0.04-0.70 mg F/kg for cereals; 0.03-0.48 mg F/kg for vegetable products; 0.03-0.07 mg F/kg for fruits; 0.02-0.28 mg F/kg for desserts, and 0.01-0.51 mg F/l for baby drinks. None of the baby foods and drinks contained fluoride of a sufficiently high concentration to be of concern or likely to contribute to enamel mottling, when used in the normal way. |
