Here’s a recent statement form Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. during his trip to Utah:
“The evidence AGAINST fluoride is overwhelming!”

EPA and CDC Initiate Federal Action on Fluoridation
Some excerpts:
As the practice of water fluoridation currently faces unprecedented opposition and rejection at both the local and state levels following our recent victory in federal court and the publication of the National Toxicology Program’s review of fluoride neurotoxicity, federal officials have now dealt it another major blow.
During his presentation, the HHS Secretary condemned fluoridation and called on state legislators to pass laws banning it, reflecting a major positive change within HHS leadership on this issue. He went on to say:
“In the era of fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwash, it makes no sense to have fluoride in our water. The evidence against fluoride is overwhelming. In animal models and in human models we know that it causes IQ loss. Profound IQ loss. And it’s dose-related. So the more fluoride you get, the higher the levels in your drinking water and your urine, the more likely it is you’ll lose IQ, and also other neurological injuries like ADHD. Science indicates that it affects kidney health, it affects liver health, it causes hypothyroidism, and it causes osteoarthritis. Women who are more exposed have up to 50% more hip fractures than women who are unexposed. It causes fluorosis in between 40-80% of our kids. It makes no sense to have it in our water supply.” – HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Secretary Kennedy officially announced that he will direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to take two immediate steps:
1) stop recommending fluoridation in communities nationwide, and
2) convene a community preventative services task force made up of independent health experts to study fluoridation and make new recommendations, which should include a new “optimal” level.
Communities That Have Ended Fluoridation
Since The Federal Fluoride Ruling
Since the federal court ruling, 54 communities, serving water to approximately 7,760,341 people have ended, suspended, or prevented water fluoridation, including several communities that have indefinitely postponed or rejected proposals to initiate fluoridation.
