NPR's "news" piece on RFK's #fluoride tweet fails to tell readers and listeners that an Obama-appointed federal judge found, after hearing extensive testimony from government scientists and NIH-funded experts, that fluoridating water "poses an unreasonable risk" to human health.

Last night, David Remnick (the editor of The New Yorker) made a snide joke on MSNBC about RFK's proposed #fluoride policy. Remnick quipped he may now need to smuggle fluoride toothpaste in from France. RFK has not said anything about banning fluoride in dental products. But,

An important new study on fluoride and IQ was published today in an NIH-funded scientific journal. The study examined a cohort of mothers and children living in Bangladesh who were exposed to fluoride levels that are common and typical for people living in fluoridated areas of

I am happy to announce that, today, I filed six class action lawsuits against the nation's largest manufacturers of candy-flavored "kids" fluoride products. These companies are responsible for over-exposing millions of young children to dangerous levels of fluoride. 🧵

The scientific evidence on the risks and benefits of #fluoride in drinking water was extensively scrutinized across seven years of litigation in the case of Food & Water Watch v. EPA. In September, the Obama-appointed federal judge overseeing the case concluded that fluoridation

Miami is the largest city in U.S. history to end its water fluoridation program. It is the latest in a growing list of communities ending this outdated practice in the wake of the federal court's ruling that fluoridated water poses an unreasonable risk to the brain. Thank you for

What a win for the people! Today, the Miami-Dade County Commission voted to stop fluoridating their water. Comm. @RobJGonzalezFL’s courageous leadership, and all who supported him, made this possible. Current science supports the decision, and it’s a good day for medical freedom!

A new review on fluoride has just been published in the Annual Review of Public Health. To quote: "fluoride ingestion is not essential for caries prevention, offers little benefit to the fetus and young infant, and can cause dental fluorosis and cognitive deficits. . . .

Now that the National Toxicology Program (NTP) has published its findings on fluoride and IQ, it is worth taking a look back at the dental lobby's efforts to block the NTP from doing this work. In this video, I explain what I discovered under the Freedom of Information Act.

In this interview on @HighWireTalk, I discuss the risks from accumulating too much fluoride in our bones, including arthritis, hip fracture, and skeletal fluorosis, and how the diagnostic standards for fluoride bone disease are woefully out-of-date.

Congratulations @RobertKennedyJr. By addressing children's overexposure to fluoride chemicals, you will help Make America Healthy Again, and, in so doing, will help restore the trust that the public has rightfully lost in our federal health agencies.

The EPA has just announced it will be appealing the Court's order which requires the EPA to take regulatory action to protect the public from fluoridation's neurological risks. This is part of EPA's longstanding pattern of ducking its head in the sand and avoiding any action that

RFK has made his first public comments about fluoride since becoming HHS Secretary. He appeared in Utah alongside state leaders who just passed the nation’s first statewide ban on fluoridation. RFK told the AP he will be asking CDC to stop recommending fluoridation. #MAHA
