from The National Pulse:

A report from the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) has raised questions about the safety of fluoride in drinking water, a practice spanning nearly eight decades aimed at reducing tooth decay. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fluoridated drinking water lowers tooth decay by 25 percent. However, the NTP states with “moderate confidence” that high fluoride levels may be linked to reduced IQ in children.

Approximately 209 million Americans consume tap water treated with fluoride, added to enhanced public dental health. However, recent findings indicate that fluoride concentrations above 1.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) could decrease children’s IQ by 2 to 5 points.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former 2024 independent presidential candidate who is now backing former President Donald J. Trump, has voiced concerns about fluoride’s neurodevelopmental effects.

The legal and public health communities are closely watching a federal lawsuit urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prohibit fluoridation based on the NTP’s insights. The NTP’s findings have prompted a few to reconsider the longstanding dental health practice, but federal health guidelines continue to endorse fluoride use.

For those concerned about fluoride exposure, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a tool for checking local tap water fluoride levels. If necessary, home water filters can remove fluoride.
