Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday told reporters that he plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water.

The statement occurred in Utah, which recently became the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, despite pushback from dentists and health officials. 

Kennedy also said that he was assembling a task force to focus on the issue, per the Associated Press.
