Removing fluoride from water – should we or shouldn’t we?
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. says he plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending communities nationwide to use fluoride in their water. Fluoride in water, which the CDC named as one of the 10 great public health interventions of the 20th century because of the decline in cavities. Fluoridated water has come under scrutiny, though, with a federal judge recently pointing to a study that associated higher levels of fluoride exposure with lower IQ in children, asking the EPA to further look into its risks. The level the study called out is higher than what the U.S. Public Health Service recommends, however. The EPA has appealed the decision. The conversations about fluoridated water continue around the country, with some communities choosing to stop fluoridating.
