Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on X that on the first day, a Trump White House would advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.
“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” he said.
RFK Jr. linked to an article at Highwire. Attorney Michael Connett discussed the risks of accumulating too much fluoride in our bones, including arthritis, hip fracture, and skeletal fluorosis.
“Fresh off a historic win against the EPA over the use of fluoride in drinking water, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, Michael Connett, Esq., discusses the decades-long concealment of the significant harms fluoride poses to human health and its implications for the future of water fluoridation,” Connett said in the interview.

Fluoride has helped with dental decay. As one community note indicated: “Since fluoride was removed from Calgary drinking water in 2011, dental infections that need to be treated by IV antibiotics have increased by 700 percent at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Half of those infections are in children under five.”
Another note said that fluoride is naturally found in water. The CDC, NCI (cancer), and ADA (dental) said the amount of fluoride in the water is regulated and acceptable.
This isn’t anything Sentinel researched, and we don’t know if the risks outweigh the positives.
The AI Research for what it is worth
Fluoride can be harmful if consumed in excess or if exposure occurs over a long period of time:
Dental fluorosis
A common side effect of fluoride is that it causes spots on teeth ranging from white to brown. Fluorosis usually occurs in children under six during tooth development.
Skeletal fluorosis
This condition can result from long-term exposure to too much fluoride. Skeletal fluorosis can lead to bone deformities and calcification of ligaments and tendons.
Other health effects
Consuming too much fluoride can also cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bone pain, and, in rare cases, death. Other potential health effects include arthritis, osteoporosis, muscular damage, fatigue, and joint-related problems.
Brain development
Some studies suggest that exposure to fluoride during pregnancy may increase the risk of childhood neurobehavioral problems.
Fluoride can enter the body through several ways, including:
- Consuming groundwater that is naturally rich in fluoride
- Using water that is high in fluoride for irrigation or food preparation
- Breathing air that contains hydrogen fluoride or fluoride dusts
- Having hydrofluoric acid touch the skin

Cutting back on the toothpaste portion is a good start. Use as little as possible, and rinse well when done. The last thing you want is to swallow fluoride toothpaste. There are also alternatives like charcoal (fluoride free) toothpaste or using a little peroxide with baking soda.
I kinda got used to glowing in the dark. Once the floride is gone I will need a flashlight. But hey look babe, no more viagra! Woohoo…
I can remember back in 1967 watching the James Coburn movie In Like Flint. Near the end an imposter President is hauled off and his final words were, “Don’t let them flouridate your water”. I was too young to understand the meaning of it but that phrase stuck with me forever. I guess even then, there were concerns, that long ago.
For most of my life I had never given much thought about why they add fluoride to our water.
Then a few years ago it hit me ; even if it is true that it reduces tooth decay, why is the government so worried about our teeth ?
Why is a populace with good teeth so important ?
How does that make sense ???
even if you have bad teeth, you can work and pay taxes, and you can vote…
Why does the government want us to have good teeth ? What is in it for them ???
They don t add vitamins and minerals to our drinking water to fight other health problems.
Yes ok, they do add small amounts to our food, but it is mainly because our processed food lose a lot of their vitamins and minerals during their industrial transformation.
What about Cancer, Diabetes, Heart problems ? why don t they add stuff to our water that fight or prevent those thing?
or what about just the flu, colds or the covid ? Why are they not putting stuff in our water to fight or prevent that ???
Why are our teeth so damn important to the government?
Well since it does not make sense that they care that much about our teeth it means the fuoride is added for other reasons.
I am just not sure what those reasons are, but it cannot be our teeth.
It’s definitely not our teeth, I’m sure there are many reasons they’ve added it to our water and other things and don’t worry about them adding stuff for the flu and such, that will be coming soon enough if we’re not careful. The government and whoever controls all this stuff has never had our best interests at heart
I’ve read it makes people passive. Many passive Americans today compared to days past! After all it’s also poison.
There’s studies indicating it doesn’t help teeth.
