Trump's pick for health secretary has many dangerous views but some good ideas, too | Devi Sridhar
Briefly

The article contrasts US and UK healthcare approaches, suggesting the UK has a more sensible, EU-linked health policy framework. Notably, Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s recent proposals could bring the US closer to these practices. While some ideas may positively influence public health by banning harmful additives from food and regulating pharmaceutical advertising, his stance against fluoridated drinking water raises significant caution due to its established dental health benefits. The future of US health policy is uncertain, tied to Kennedy's controversial views.
Having lived in both countries for an extensive period, the UK, in my opinion, takes a more sensible approach to implementing pro-health and wellbeing policies, closely linked to EU regulations.
Kennedy has suggested this week that he will ban some of these [additives in food products], depending on what exactly he does, this isn't a radical suggestion.
But what about his pronouncements about the dangers of fluoride in drinking water? In 1945, fluoride was introduced into US drinking water because of concerns about dental health and the rise of cavities in children.
Kennedy has vowed to remove fluoride from drinking water, claiming it is toxic. Yes, at high levels and when ingested.
