    I am surprised to see the EWG recommend fluoride-free water be used to make infant formula. Despite recent concerns, fluoride supplementation has been a wonderful public health measure and is stll recommend by the AAP.

    I am also surprised EWG skips the most obvious way to protect your children from toxins with KNOWN (not just suspected) adverse effects: do not allow smoking in your home, and parents should quit smoking altogether.

    Thanks for posting this! I agree that no shoes in the house is a tradition that is overdue in the US. We’re going to have to work on getting the kid’s shoes off every time we come in the house, but it’s a good habit to start now.
    As the parent of a teether, articles about how hormone-mimicking compounds are being found in lots of types of plastic (and even some glass containers) are concerning. How freaked out should this make me? Should I start whittling all of his toys out of organic wood?
