Breast milk samples were collected from 57 lactating mothers. Ten brands of milk formulations, 9 different brands of cow's milk and 3 brands of yogurt shake were purchased from the market. Fluoride concentrations of the samples were analyzed using a specific fluoride electrode. The average fluoride level was 0.019±0.004 ppm in breast milk, 0.022±0.007 ppm in cow's milk and 0.022±0.003ppm in yogurt shake. Fluoride levels of milk formulations prepared by distilled water were ranging between 0.118 to 0.021 ppm. It is concluded that in non-fluoridated areas, fluoride intake of infants from the above sources is not very high and fluoride supplements may be prescribed.en10.17796/jcpd.24.4.pt4860767j25247linfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle24429930211314415Q3
