- Former President Donald Trump said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal to remove fluoride from the U.S. water systems “sounds okay” to him.
- Kennedy, who is poised to play a health policy role in a potential Trump administration, recently wrote, “The Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “the safety and benefits of fluoride are well documented and have been reviewed comprehensively by several scientific and public health organizations.”
This was literally an episode of Parks and Rec. It was supposed to be satire…
People have known that water fluoridation is an international communist plot to sap and impurity our precious bodily fluids since at least the 50s!
That’s why I only drink grain alcohol and rainwater
The opposite, it is a capitalist conspiracy to sell industrial waste to the government to dump in the water supply after companies were massively fined for just dumping said waste into the water ways.
It has no proven health benefits, but it’s also not really linked to any health concerns at the moment since “safe” levels are just removed by the kidneys without being absorbed or used by the body in any way. Topical applications of fluoride have decent proof that they help, oral ingestion has no evidence whatsoever that it does anything’s in low doses, but it can cause kidney failure and cancer in high doses.
There were decades of examples before that of fluoride conspiracies being spouted by kooks and insane people. It’s kind of a trope.
