RFK Jr.'s Fluoride Claims Stir Health Debate Amid Political Tensions

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent comments about removing fluoride from drinking water have reignited debates over its safety and necessity. Fluoride, a mineral added to water supplies to prevent tooth decay, is considered safe and effective by health officials at recommended levels. However, some studies suggest potential risks, such as lower IQ in children at higher exposure levels, leading to calls for further regulation. Despite controversy, experts continue to support water fluoridation as a key public health measure.
