Fluoride's presence in public water supplies is facing increasing opposition, particularly led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who links fluoride to lower IQs in children, despite studies indicating such effects occur only at high exposure levels. Several U.S. regions, including Florida, are considering or implementing bans on fluoridation, especially following FDA steps to limit fluoride supplements. This resistance contrasts with the support from dental professionals who cite fluoride's role in reducing dental decay, particularly among children in lower economic groups, highlighting the need for alternative dental education and care if fluoride is restricted.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long railed against fluoride in public water supplies, claiming that it correlates to lower IQs in kids.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also said in April that it's studying the health risks of fluoride, and Kennedy has signaled that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will stop recommending water fluoridation.
