title: [Fluoride levels in mother's milk].
abstract: Using an electrode selective for the ion fluorine, it has been determined the amount of fluorine in samples of human milk. In a sample of 35 nursing mothers, only 10 have shown the required parameters. The amount of fluorine in the water all 35 mothers imbibed in their daily diet has been measured. The results showed a small amount of fluorine in human milk and a possible connection between the amount of fluorine in the mothers' daily diet and the amount of fluorine in human milk. From the results of the research it has been determined the necessity to give supplements of fluoride to nursing babies.
