Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he will direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoridated drinking water and form a taskforce to review health concerns.

His announcement follows Utah’s statewide ban on fluoride, the first in the U.S., despite warnings from dental and health organizations.

Kennedy praised Utah’s move and labeled fluoride a “dangerous neurotoxin.” The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is reviewing new data on fluoride’s health risks.

Critics argue the effort is politically driven and will harm low-income communities by increasing cavity rates.
