Fluoride Debates Spark Political Controversy Ahead of Elections
Political figures, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) and Donald Trump, have reignited the debate over fluoride in drinking water, with RFK Jr. claiming it is linked to various health issues and asserting that a Trump administration would prioritize its removal. Trump has expressed support for this stance, suggesting he may also consider banning certain vaccines. This discourse has puzzled strategists and raised concerns among health experts, as the implications of removing fluoride could have significant effects. Meanwhile, some political voices assert that the American public is not focused on fluoride as a pressing issue, leaving many questions about the future of public health policy.
