Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently pledged to take steps to remove fluoride from public water due to potential health risks, but others maintain the mineral should still be added to drinking water.
After former President Trump became the second president to win a second non-consecutive term, his close advisors are already planning fresh initiatives for the new administration. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is likely to play a pivotal role in public health, recently wrote on X: 'On Jan. 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.
Some experts claim there is not enough evidence to change the recommendations about fluoride. 'The concept of tooth remineralization is still at the core of this fluoride discussion,' Dr. Tien Jiang, assistant professor of oral health policy and epidemiology at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, told Fox News Digital. 'Demineralization is natural due to our daily habits and food/drink consumption, and fluoride, along with other minerals, helps tip the scale toward remineralization.
To me, the focus is sometimes misplaced,' she said. 'If we all focused on more effective brushing and flossing techniques and eating and drinking habits, the majority of the dental diseases would be preventable, regardless of fluoride.' EPA ordered to take action In late September, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that there is enough evidence of potential health risks of fluoride in drinking water for the EPA to enact further regulations, as the AP reported.
