Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the man widely expected to become a health leader in President-elect Donald Trump's White House, has promised to lobby to remove fluoride from the American water supply, reasoning that recent studies indicate more research is needed on safe fluoride levels, especially for children. His stance has ignited a renewed debate among scientists and experts about the necessity and safety of fluoridating public water supplies, as he argues that with the prevalence of fluoride in toothpaste, water fluoridation may no longer be essential.
While many medical professionals, chiefly dentists, support some level of fluoridation, there is a growing concern and agreement among researchers that we still aren't sure how much fluoride is too much for children. The controversy arises from recent studies advocating further exploration on safe fluoride levels, correlating with a federal ruling in California questioning the recommended fluoride dosage. Kennedy's perspective underscores the contentious nature of this public health issue, which remains deeply divided among experts.
