The long-standing practice of adding fluoride to U.S. tap water is praised for reducing cavities by 25%, yet concerns about neurodevelopmental risks from high levels persist.
The recent scrutiny over water fluoridation heightened with Trump's potential appointment of Kennedy, noted for his anti-vaccine and anti-fluoridation stance, possibly influencing future health policies.
The National Toxicology Program report suggests a possible link between high fluoride exposure and lowered IQ, particularly concerning for pregnant individuals and young children.
Analysis of international studies indicates a slight correlation between high fluoride levels and reduced IQ in children, although the effects of lower concentrations like 0.7 mg/L remain unclear.
