The new Trump administration will ban fluoride from US public water due to evidence that fluoride is seriously harmful to human health, according to RFK Jr.
On Saturday, Trump’s health czar declared on X that, on the day of the inauguration, the White House will issue an order to stop adding fluoride to water.
“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy posted.
Infowars.com reports: “Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again.”
In a second Tweet, Kennedy drew attention to a recent federal court ruling, in which an Obama-appointed judge, after reviewing a huge number of scientific studies and hours of expert testimony, ruled that the EPA had “improperly approved this dangerous neurotoxin.
Judge Edward Chen, in the Northern District of California, ruled that fluoride in drinking water poses an “unreasonable risk” or reduced IQ in children.
“In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States,” Chen wrote.
“EPA’s own expert agrees that fluoride is hazardous at some level,” he added, citing a report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and National Toxicology Program (NTP) which “concluded that fluoride is indeed associated with reduced IQ in children, at least at exposure levels at or above 1.5 mg/L.”
American towns have already started removing fluoride from their water supplies after Judge Chen’s ruling.
Yorktown and Somers, both in New York State, have both announced an end to municipal fluoridation.
Somers Supervisor Robert Scorrano said that the town’s decision to stop fluoridating the municipal water supply would “give residents the freedom to choose their own sources of fluoride, ensuring personal control over their health decisions. Additionally, concerns about potential long-term health risks from fluoride exposure support reevaluating its use in public water systems.”
In addition to the potential risks to health and IQ, a new report has also shown that the dental benefits of fluoridation are limited.
The new report, published by the Cochrane Review, says that any benefits for tooth decay are now minimal, because people have a much higher baseline level of dental health than they did 50 years ago.
