Just do away with flouride.

Keep chipping away at big medical and big pharma's influence and at their revenue streams. Death or demise of them by a 1,000 cuts is the way to go.

Well, I suppose it's a start, but leaving it in municipal water is just as bad as handing out pills.

Please no Fluoride in anything, especially water! So many products contain water, if it contains added fluoride think how much we would be ingesting in so many products. HHS and FDA need to go further with these restrictions.

Please do a write up on all of the adverse effects, on the human body, of flouride in the drinking water. Like thyroid issues, bone density issues, etc. The 2024 Cochrane update states "No contemporary data were available for adverse effects."

Years ago, I learned this information. Toxic Fluoride lowers the I.Q. and harms the human body. Fluoride stems from toxic waste created in the process of making aluminum...and it is hazardous waste, which needed to be disposed of safely. Instead of paying for its disposal...the aluminum manufacturers made money selling this waste to companies that could put it into toothpaste, mouthwash, municipal water all over America for the pubic to drink, etc. The useless FDA is not protecting Americans and it is another agency, which needs to go.

it is always the details that matter

If the alarm on Fluoride was loudly sounded 35 years ago, it would have been tardy.

A dentist from North County San Diego, (also by the last name Kennedy) was loudly sounding the alarm even then,

The fact that we are now revisiting the debacle can be credited to the collaboration between RFK to include many on team Trump.

Oddly the official dental cartel has been advocating this non science for many decades.

It is true that Fl makes enamel harder, however it is also more prone to fracture...

Fluorosis, Osteosarcoma, among other breaches.

Here in Canada, the ability of dental professionals and pediatricians to poison babies and children with supplemental sodium fluoride drops and tablets (which were never formally approved by Health Canada in the first place) has not been restricted by formal government regulatory edict. F supplementation for kids has faded out of favour since the 1990s thanks largely to the work of U. of Toronto's Dr. Hardy Limeback who paid bitterly for his dissent. But Canadian dentists and pediatricians worried about babies and children not getting enough F don't have to worry. Although sodium fluoride supplements are now frowned upon, Health Canada STILL enthusiastically supports the addition, to all municipal drinking water, of hazardous toxic industrial waste fluorosilicates it refuses to regulate as a health-affecting substance while claiming this prevents tooth decay - and calls them "water treatment chemicals" [that treat PEOPLE]. Provinces go along with the ruse and add the fluoridation "water treatment chemicals" that degrade potability, shorten infrastructure life, and increase corrosion and lead leaching, right alongside actual water treatment disinfection, flocculant and filtration chemicals. See what they did there? Pharma grade pure controlled-dose NaF supplement is No No -- because of HARM, but as-is scrubber waste fluoride supplement from the Tampa Bay and Chinese fertilizer industries at uncontrolled dose in tap water at any dilution from .7 mg/L to 1.5 mg/L is Yes Yes. Because of corruption.

Why is fluoride being added to municipal water?

I've heard nothing good and a significant amount of possible harm from ingesting fluoride.

I'm guessing somebody is making money. Who dat?

Read the comment by Barbara Charis. She explains it well.

Well, I'd say a more accurate description of changing it from all kids not living in a community with fluoridated drinking water 6 months and older to only kids past their 3rd birthday who are at "high-risk" of cavities (undefined) and not living in a community with fluoridated drinking water is it is a political compromise to appease dentists.

Really, if systemic exposure has little to no evidence of benefit to teeth, causes permanent fluorosis on adult teeth, and has scientific evidence of harm to guts and thyroids, why is it okay for anyone? Doesn't FDA have a responsibility to protect us, especially young children?

P.S. And let's not forget the risk of bone fractures and osteosarcoma from childhood exposure.

“Fluoride is a carcinogen by any standard we use. I believe EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis and mutagenicity and other effects.” - Dr. Wm. Marcus, EPA Senior Scientist and Toxicologist (1998)

Get the message: fluoride is not the way. Hydroxyapatite.

Here are some more nails in the coffin for fluoridation that you might want to use:

We knew with certainty that Fluoride causes osteosarcoma in the long bones particulary in adolescent males over 35 years ago. Oddly that is missing from this report.

I didn’t even know this was done. Terrible. Glad the FDA got rid of it.
