Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he will direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoridated drinking water and form a taskforce to review health concerns.
His announcement follows Utah’s statewide ban on fluoride, the first in the U.S., despite warnings from dental and health organizations.
Kennedy praised Utah’s move and labeled fluoride a “dangerous neurotoxin.” The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is reviewing new data on fluoride’s health risks.
Critics argue the effort is politically driven and will harm low-income communities by increasing cavity rates.
I brush with both fluoride and hydroxyapatite toothpaste… But fluoride in drinking water doesn’t really make sense. The fluoride reaction needs coverage and time, which drinking doesn’t provide.
Yet the CDC has science that shows otherwise:
What the research shows Studies continue to show that widespread community water fluoridation prevents cavities and saves money, both for families and the health care system.
Drinking fluoridated water keeps teeth strong and reduces cavities by about 25% in children and adults. 34This results in less mouth pain, fewer fillings or teeth pulled, and fewer missed days of work and school.
Communities of 1,000 or more people see an average estimated return on investment (ROI) of $20 for every $1 spent on water fluoridation. The ROI for community water fluoridation increases as the community size increases, but even small communities save money.5 Communities served by fluoridated water save an average of $32 per person a year by avoiding treatment for cavities.5
I only the other hand have… no evidence for my opinion.
But I will keep brushing.
Flouride has been proven harmful to brain development. Too high content in drinking water will cause lower IQ. Low levels should not affect IQ so much, but still very helpful for teeth.
Interesting since Americans only drink Gatorade. They say it has electrolytes, but does it have flouride?
That is an excellent hypothesis. Perhaps if people swished with fluoridated water they would have less cavities. There are also numerous very good studies showing the effects of fluoridation on cities. There have been cities who voted to remove fluoridation, then saw cavities increase, and voted to put it back, resulting in the expected decrease in cavities. So clearly, it works.
nano-hydroxapatite is the one you want, both normal and micro is actually too big to help with defects. im using a 10% nHA, but im looking into another brand. and some of the HAP brands have ingredients that cause allergies. i also use flouride, specifically stannous flouride which is better than sodium flouride, and the other formulation.
it has been shown that using F and nHA strengthens its bettern than either alone, but they havnt found a formulation that it would work effectively.
which HAP brand you using?
Good, mass medication with out individual consent is morally and ethically wrong.
That’s why a lot of European countries don’t add fluoride to their water.
Also, consuming fluoride does nothing for your teeth. It needs to remain on your teeth to be beneficial. That’s why it’s recommended not to drink water or rinse after you brush your teeth at night.
I’m sure you also trust Kennedys recommendations to end measles too. A quick Google search shows that most European countries DO put fluoride in water.
You’re not only wrong but highly uneducated.
trusts AI
Yea that data has never been poisoned, if you want better melted cheese put in Elmer’s glue
Wow you are dumb
It does nothing for your teeth, it’s all a myth.
The countries that also decided to put fluoride in water did it because the US did it and recommended it. And most of them have already stopped using it.
And these days we are finding to doesn’t really do anything good or bad so it’s unnecessary.
Still thinking fuoride should be in the water is the uneducated take.
Edit: lmao yeah downvote reality im sure that will make it go away XD
You are extremely wrong

Linking a Canadian government statement is how I know you’ve had your fill of fluoride, bahaha
Lol, this is hilarious because I’ve actually seem this study linked before so I can just copy and paste my rebuttal from the last time a super dumb person shared it with me:
-
Reliance on Observational Data: The study critiques water fluoridation policies but relies heavily on observational epidemiological data rather than detaled physiological analyses. Observational studies lack sensitivity to detect nuanced harm or benefit[1].
-
Selective Evidence: The study does not adequately consider newer, well-designed studies that challenge its conclusions, particularly regarding fluoride’s impact on IQ and other health effects[2].
-
Ethical and Safety Margin Concerns: While it questions the ethical implications and safety margins of fluoride ingestion, it does not propose clear alternatives or frnmeworks for assessing acceptable exposure levels[1].
-
Bias: The study’s conclusions reflect a bias against water fluoridation rather than a balanced review of evidence, as it emphasizes harms without sufficiently weighing benefits like dental caries prevention[1][3].
-
Limited Scope: The study does not address findings from broader reviews, such as those by Public Health Ontario or Health Canada, which suggest that optimally fluoridated water primarily causes mild dental fluorosis without significant adverse health effects[3][4].
These limitations suggest you should pull your head out of your ass.

Sounds like a good time to be in business as a dentist!
Even the dentists want fluoridation to continue: https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/community-water-fluoridation-is-effective-at-preventing-cavities
How are they going to mind control the population now though?
It’s fascinating how some people, however fringe, believe both:
- that there is a Deep State or some other form of conspiracy that controls hurricanes and people’s minds; and
- that Trump –or anyone else for that matter– can rein in such a powerful, almost omnipotent force.
They are low intelligence, and that makes them suspicious of every aspect of life that they didn’t learn about before the age of 10.
They recognize Trump is just as stupid (or ‘normal’ as they choose to think of it) as they are, but since he is successful they see that as evidence that some supernatural element is supporting him, either god or some genetic aspect of being a wealthy white that enables him to win.
