Abstract
The recent statement by the Committee on Nutrition, American Academy of Pediatrics, that fluoride in fish flour is less than 50% available is incorrect. Recent balance studies in man demonstrated an 88% absorption of fluoride present in fish flour. Fish flour contains 150 to 300 ppm fluoride. In studies conducted abroad, infants and children 2 to 5 years of age received daily between 10 to 30 gm of fish flour in their diets. Assuming a fluoride content of at least 150 ppm, the daily fluoride intake would be between 1.5 and 4.5 mg
