Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he will direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoridated drinking water and form a taskforce to review health concerns.
His announcement follows Utah’s statewide ban on fluoride, the first in the U.S., despite warnings from dental and health organizations.
Kennedy praised Utah’s move and labeled fluoride a “dangerous neurotoxin.” The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is reviewing new data on fluoride’s health risks.
Critics argue the effort is politically driven and will harm low-income communities by increasing cavity rates.
I brush with both fluoride and hydroxyapatite toothpaste… But fluoride in drinking water doesn’t really make sense. The fluoride reaction needs coverage and time, which drinking doesn’t provide.
Yet the CDC has science that shows otherwise:
I only the other hand have… no evidence for my opinion.
But I will keep brushing.
Flouride has been proven harmful to brain development. Too high content in drinking water will cause lower IQ. Low levels should not affect IQ so much, but still very helpful for teeth.
Interesting since Americans only drink Gatorade. They say it has electrolytes, but does it have flouride?
thats only if you drink a concentrated solution, natural sources arnt high enough to cause it. even with children who get flourisis, they found out that thier teeth arnt resistant to cavaties, despite have structural defects.
I’m confident that page will be deleted shortly.
Since when was it ever a priority to save money for the healthcare system?
That is an excellent hypothesis. Perhaps if people swished with fluoridated water they would have less cavities. There are also numerous very good studies showing the effects of fluoridation on cities. There have been cities who voted to remove fluoridation, then saw cavities increase, and voted to put it back, resulting in the expected decrease in cavities. So clearly, it works.
thats why you should swish with sodium flouride mouthwash after brushing, or swish with toothpaste after your normal brushing. additionally, after brushing you can just spit out the excess toothpaste and dont rinse, it helps too.
I did not expect that to be true.
nano-hydroxapatite is the one you want, both normal and micro is actually too big to help with defects. im using a 10% nHA, but im looking into another brand. and some of the HAP brands have ingredients that cause allergies. i also use flouride, specifically stannous flouride which is better than sodium flouride, and the other formulation.
it has been shown that using F and nHA strengthens its bettern than either alone, but they havnt found a formulation that it would work effectively.
which HAP brand you using?
I was getting tablets off of Amazon before I started boycotting it. Sorry, I don’t remember the brand.
