On fluoride and RFK Jr’s unyielding support for tooth decay.

@AshleyGWinter Well said. For those who think fluoride in toothpaste alone is sufficient, let me just say: if you think ALL children brush their teeth EVERY day, you'd be VERY wrong. The best public health interventions are structural, systemic, not 'you do you'.

I wish I could repost this 1000 times

You are relying on outdated information. Current research shows fluoridation delivers little, if any benefit. Cochrane Review LOTUS Study CATFISH Study When under oath CDC could not provide an evidence that fluoride is safe for the brain CDC agreed with the National Research Council 2006 findings that fluorides “interfere with the function of the brain and body by direct and indirect means.” CDC KNEW fluoride affected the brain back in 2006, yet did nothing with this information!

You go ahead and supplement the rest of us want clean water....wtf is wrong with you people...

Stop spreading false info, you should lose your license

Excellent piece, Dr. Andrews. Dental care, by and large, is totally ignored by our GQP friends, anyway. Most plans have a $1k limit, and don't cover Maxillofacial work. Medicare leaves Dental care out completely, unless you buy a supplement.

Send RFK Jr your dental bills. He's never had to worry about a bill in his life.

You don’t need it

Research has shown that high levels of fluoride cans lower IQ.
