ADA applauds health claim for fluoridated bottled water
CHICAGO (Oct. 20, 2006) -- The American Dental Association (ADA) supports the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to allow bottlers to claim that fluoridated water may reduce the risk of dental cavities or tooth decay.
"Whether you drink fluoridated water from the tap or buy it in a bottle, you're doing the right thing for your oral health," says ADA executive director James B. Bramson, D.D.S. "Thanks to the FDA's decision, bottlers can now claim what dentists have long known--that optimally fluoridated water helps prevent tooth decay."
The ADA also agrees with the FDA that this health claim is not intended for use on bottled water marketed to infants for whom lesser amounts of fluoride are appropriate.
According to the FDA's Center for Food Safety and applied Nutrition, "the food eligible to bear the claim is bottled water卌ontaining greater than 0.6 and up to 1.0 mg/L total fluoride, and meeting all general requirements for health claims?"
The American Dental Association (ADA) continues to endorse fluoridation of community water supplies as safe and effective for preventing tooth decay. This support has been the Association's position since policy was first adopted in 1950. Approximately 162 million people in the United States are served by public water systems that are fluoridated. The ADA, along with state and local dental societies, continues to work with federal, state, and local agencies to increase the number of communities benefiting from water fluoridation.

FDA最近通过瓶水商氟化水可减少蛀牙的主张，这获得了美国牙医协会的支持。
不论从水龙头还是瓶装水喝氟化水，你都在做对口腔健康的好事。美国牙医协会执行主席James B. Bramson, D.D.S说。感谢FDA的决定，现在瓶水商现在可以传播牙医早就已知的事实，适量氟化水有益防治蛀牙。
美国牙医协会也支持FDA关于这一健康主张并不适用于需要少量氟的婴儿瓶装水市场的立场。
FDA食品安全和应用营养中心说，瓶装水最佳含氟量是在0.6－1.0mg/L之间，这符合大多人健康要求。
美国牙医协会一直支持商业氟化水供应应该安全并有效防止蛀牙。这是1950年协会接受政策以来的一贯立场。美国大概有162000000人受到的公共水系统服务是氟化的。美国牙医协会和国家地方的牙医团体，一直要求联邦，州和地方机构增加氟化水受益人群。
