Kennedy has long been a strong supporter of ending water fluorination, promising promising voters during the 2024 presidential election, and as president he has pledged to finish his practice. Now, as the country’s top health authorities, he is taking steps to do just that. (Related: RFK Jr. wants to get fluoride out of the water.
Kennedy continues to outline the dangers of fluoride in his speech, claiming that there is “zero systemic benefit” for the consumption of chemicals for dental health. He argued that local spraying is fine, but not consumed through public water systems.

“The evidence for fluoride is overwhelming,” Kennedy continued. “We know that it causes loss of IQ, deeper IQ. The more fluoride you have, the more likely you are to lose your IQ.”
He also said consumption is linked to kidney and liver damage, hypothyroidism and osteoarthritis.
“It makes no sense to have it in our water supply. I am extremely proud that this state is the first state to ban it. I hope there are more to come,” he concluded.

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) declared, “…data supports a consistent inverse association between fluoride exposure and child IQ.”
In a meta-analysis by NTP, 52 of 55 studies revealed a decrease in children’s IQ along with increased fluoride. internal…
