Edward Hoffer, a Massachusetts physician, recently posted information on the fluoridation of water and RFK Jr’s ignorant and dangerous attempt to eliminate it.
“In April, Robert Kenedy Jr ordered the CDC to stop recommending fluoridation of the public water supply, contrary to the recommendation of the American Dental Association and most public health experts.
The science behind fluoridation is solid. Fluoride helps remineralize tooth enamel and it prevents cavities.
Those opposed to fluoridation point to the dangers of high fluoride levels, which can result in discoloration of the developing teeth, brittle bones, and, at very high levels, neurologic defects in children. All of these occur at levels of fluoride much higher than that in public water. Almost anything that is safe in usual amounts can be dangerous in excess.
The benefit of having the public water fluoridated is that this proven effective therapy is available to all, without regard to their income or ability to get regular dental care. It saves a lot of money. Estimates are that $1 spent on fluoridation saves $38 in dental expenses.
The science is clear. Fluoridation at recommended levels of 0.7 mg/liter is safe and it dramatically reduces dental cavities. Do not let conspiracy theories or disinformation sway you.”
