"Fluoride has been well tested. It clearly and definitively decreases cavities, and is not associated with any clear evidence of the chronic diseases mentioned in that tweet," says Dr. Paul Offit.
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a science denialist. He makes up his own scientific truths and ignores the actual truths," Offit states, underscoring the misinformation surrounding fluoride.
"The science is unambiguous...adding fluoride to the water supply has been effective in lowering the number of cavities in both children and adults," according to health officials.
"More than a dozen recent studies from governments and academic institutions around the world have found that fluoride reduces tooth decay in children and adults by around 25%," the American Dental Association reports.
