Major health groups support water fluoridation as a public health benefit and emphasize that the practice is safe.

Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that a Trump administration would prioritize removing fluoride from public water systems, a position at odds with major health organizations like the CDC, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, all of which endorse water fluoridation as safe and beneficial for dental health.

Despite Kennedy’s controversial stance on health and environmental issues, which includes previously debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Trump has praised his passion, stating that Kennedy would have significant freedom to influence health policy if Trump were elected.

    I mean you could have posted it faster than writing whatever this wall of text is.

    Clearly you’ve never heard of a paragraph, yet you expect me to believe that you’ve superior research and analytical skills. Makes me wonder where you got your BSc.

    You wouldn’t know a medical journal if I balled one up and launched it at your Dunning-Kruger face ffs.

    Edit: Furthermore, it pisses me off when people say hurr durr look it up yourself, as it’s disingenuous really. If I had information that would be to the betterment of my fellow human and people didn’t believe me, I would share all I could with them. As to me helping others is what we should strive for, not just ugh this guy doesn’t understand so let’s alienate them even more.

        Wow, you found sources citing how it’s bad… In massive doses like when cocking with cockroach poison!

        Thanks for showing you won’t even read your sources.

            Sorry, you confused me mocking you with a serious question. Awkward…

            Still, you didn’t prove it’s not magical, you only showed it’s safe. So the goalpost hasn’t moved, just like your IQ since you were 5.

            Btw, I hope the big guy with tiny hands losses. Don’t forget to go voting 6th of Jan!

              Fine. Lets agree to disagree then. You want your water to come with a pinch of fluoride, I don’t. And that’s ok. I hope you have an amazing day, sir.

        So the study is showing how it can be lethal is massive doses. Shocker. Anything can kill you with a massive dose.

        Drink too much water, dead.

        Eat too many bananas, dead.

        Poison is in the dosage.

        The second link is a news source so I’ll not touch that.

        Finally, why are you being so aggressive and confrontational? Is this how you conduct yourself all the time? That must be exhausting and your face must hurt after trying this IRL to people’s faces.
