(The Guardian) RFK Jr vows to remove fluoride from public water
In a post on X, Robert F Kennedy Jr has said that he would remove fluoride from all public water if Donald Trump is elected and gives him responsibility over the nation’s health agencies. “Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” Kennedy wrote.


Although fluoride is associated with some health issues, dentists strongly recommend adding it to public water to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride is naturally occurring in drinking water at varying levels.

US district judge Edward Chen ruled on 24 September that the Environmental Protection Agency must take action regarding fluoride in drinking water, claiming his finding does not “conclude with certainty” any harmful effects but that there is evidence of the risk of cognitive decline.

The ruling stems from an August report from the Department of Health and Human Service’s National Toxicology Program, which found that drinking water that contained more than twice the recommended limit of fluoride was “consistently associated” with lower IQ in children.

Despite this ruling, the American Dental Association said in a statement in September that it remains “staunchly in support” of adding fluoride to community drinking water to help prevent tooth decay.

RFK Jr is a complete fucking idiot. It honestly blows my mind how people like him can be accepted into such high positions and NO ONE fights it.
