Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that a Trump administration would prioritize removing fluoride from public water systems, a position at odds with major health organizations like the CDC, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, all of which endorse water fluoridation as safe and beneficial for dental health.

Despite Kennedy’s controversial stance on health and environmental issues, which includes previously debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Trump has praised his passion, stating that Kennedy would have significant freedom to influence health policy if Trump were elected.

    Isn’t this a state and municipality decision?

    Personally I am in favor of removing floyride from water. I think it’s stupid.

    But I am fine with replacing that with free fluoride toothpaste for children.

    Either way that is not a federal decision to make.
