Another U.S. municipality this week has decided to remove fluoride from the water supply, after a federal judge ordered a federal agency to look into alleged health issues posed by the compound and ahead of the second Trump administration.
A federal judge in September ruled that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must take steps to address studies that have raised concerns about whether fluoride in drinking water leads to lower IQ in children. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has suggested he would push to end water fluoridation.
