From: Beldani [beldani@mediaone.net] Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2001 8:48 AM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Cc: AsmKelly@njleg.state.nj.us; jim.mcgovern@mail.house.gov Subject: Petition docket number 00P-1602/CP 1, dated 11/6/00 Acting Commissioner Bernard A. Shwetz U.S. Food and Drug Administration Petition docket number 00P-1602/CP 1, dated 11/6/00 Sir, Fluoride supplements are an unapproved drug. As a parent who gave these supplements to my children without being told so, I support the petition above. I want the FDA to remove unapproved fluoride supplements from the market since they have never been proven safe and effective. Please act promptly to protect thousands of children from getting dental fluorosis. Elise Blanchette 22 Lois Lane North Attleboro,MA 02760-4621 508-643-1584
