GREENWIRE | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Trump administration on Day One would push to stop the controversial practice of adding fluoride to drinking water, but that didn’t happen.
Kennedy, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, said in a Nov. 2, 2024, social media post, “On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
But no announcement related to fluoride was among the slew of actions out of the White House on Monday.
The Trump administration’s plans on water fluoridation, a practice public health officials have recommended for decades to help protect against tooth decay, are still unclear.
