Baby's First Spring Water

RICHARD GOLDSMITH MD, FAAP1

To the Editor.—

I wish to bring to the attention of the readers of Pediatrics, who are not already aware of it, the latest in a long list of absurdities. The Beech-Nut Company has now stooped to marketing a product called "Baby's First Spring Water." This product is simply water of presumed and unquestioned purity and subsequently sterilized and to which has been added 1 ppm of fluoride. Surrounding the Beech-Nut Baby Logo on the label is a blue band in which is written "fluoridated."
