The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has been spending tens of millions of dollars in US taxpayer money over the past decade to expand water fluoridation. Their Health People objectives have repeatedly included expanding fluoridation to 77% of the population. But they’ve had to keep pushing out the target date, now to the year 2030. Due to activism from FAN and concerned citizens, the opposite has happened over the past decade, with the latest CDC stats showing that the percentage of the U.S. population served by community water systems receiving fluoridated water is decreasing steadily, from 74.6% in 2012 down to 72.7 in 2020. The percentage of the U.S. population receiving so-called “optimally fluoridated” water from either natural or artificial sources combined also decreased, from 67.1% to 62.9%. The number of water systems that stopped the addition of fluoridation chemicals to their water included at least 1,413 communities from 2010 to 2020.
