Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known advocate of controversial public health claims, recently stated that if Donald Trump were to assume office, he would immediately push for the removal of fluoride from drinking water. Fluoride, as recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, plays a crucial role in strengthening teeth and reducing cavities by replenishing lost minerals. The addition of fluoride to drinking water has been hailed as a significant public health achievement of the last century.
Kennedy's announcement was made on a social media platform, where he also made various claims regarding the health effects of fluoride. He mentioned that the Trump administration would advise all U.S. water systems to eliminate fluoride from public water sources starting January 20. This move was linked to Trump's goal of 'Making America Healthy Again.'
