Final answer:

False. There is no inherent difference in fluoride content between soy-based and milk-based formulas.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Soy-based formulas do not contain more fluoride than milk-based formulas.

Fluoride is not naturally present in either soy milk or cow's milk. However, it is common for fluoride to be added to both types of formula. The amount of fluoride added can vary depending on the brand and type of formula. There is no inherent difference in fluoride content between soy-based and milk-based formulas.

It is important for parents to follow the guidelines provided by the formula manufacturer and consult with their pediatrician about the appropriate formula choice for their child.
