RFK Jr. Calls For CDC To Stop Recommending Fluoride Be Added To Water
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially called on the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation in local communities.
Kennedy made the announcement during a stop in Utah on his ‘Make America Healthy Again’ tour.
“Fluoride should not be in our water,” Kennedy told the crowd following the Utah’s decision to officially ban water fluoridation, the first state to do so.

Kennedy vowed to work to end fluoridation during his own presidential campaign last year and is now following through on the promise.
He reiterated that there is “zero systemic advantage” for adding fluoride for dental health via public water systems.
“The evidence against fluoride is overwhelming,” Kennedy declared, adding “We know that it causes IQ loss, profound IQ loss … the more fluoride you get … the more likely it is you lose IQ.”
He also outlined how consumption has been linked to kidney and liver damage, hypothyroidism and osteoarthritis.
“It makes no sense to have it in our water supply, and I’m very very proud of this state for being the first state to ban it and I hope many more will come,” Kennedy told the crowd.
