Kennedy Jr. Promises Fluoride Removal in Trump Administration
News summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to push for the removal of fluoride from U.S. drinking water as part of Donald Trump's upcoming administration, claiming it causes various health issues, despite widespread scientific consensus on its dental benefits. Kennedy's proposal aligns with Trump's tentative support, as he acknowledged the proposal 'sounds okay' to him. Experts, including those from the CDC and dental associations, argue that fluoridation has significantly reduced cavities and is essential for public health. Communities have historically made decisions about water fluoridation, complicating any federal action. Recent studies linking fluoride to potential health risks have fueled debate, but legal challenges remain for any sweeping changes. The push to remove fluoride may face substantial political and practical hurdles within the administration.
