I use it with all my kids, down to age 2. Used sparingly, it is very safe and effective. I always treat our juice with a pinch of Borax if it is "from concentrate." Also, canned foods contain fluoride, so it is good to add a tiny amount of Borax to any dish with canned ingredients.

This mom was arrested for using a pinch of borax in her child's water. Https://gephardtdaily.com/local/uintah-county-mother-arrested-for-dosing-teen-daughter-daily-with-borax/

Dear Sandy,

Chilling! I recommend that parents looking for the benefit of the minerals in borax consider using an over the counter boron supplement for their children to avoid such a situation.
