Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed fluoride's contentious role in water during a Fox News appearance. He stated that removing fluoride might increase cavities, a stance countered by some experts who note that in Europe, fluoride bans did not lead to such an uptick. Kennedy highlighted studies linking fluoride to reduced IQ in children, stirring debate on its health implications. Critics are urging caution, emphasizing the importance of fluoride in preventing tooth decay and the need for informed parental choice regarding its use in water.
Kennedy claims that removing fluoride might lead to more cavities, yet cites a controversial study linking fluoride to lower IQ, despite the consensus on its dental benefits.
Kennedy emphasized that science supports fluoride, but raised parental choice in fluoridation debates, noting that even without fluoride, Europe didn't see an increase in cavities.
