Tag: Fluoride Supplements

The FDA has been aware that systemic fluoride products have been prescribed in violation of federal law since at least 1966. By ignoring the law for 35 years, the FDA has made it clear that their concern is the well being of industry, not the public.

Fluoride supplements, which are currently being prescribed to millions of American children, have NEVER been approved by the FDA as either safe or effective. According to New Jersey Assemblyman John Kelly, who has brought much of this information to light: “I was stunned when I was advised by the FDA that fluoride supplements were not approved by the FDA. Incredibly, in fifty years, no one has ever bothered submitting a petition to the FDA to have these products approved!”

Assemblyman John V. Kelly (R-36) today petitioned FDA Commissioner Jane Henney to take regulatory action against children’s fluoride supplements. In his letter to FDA Commissioner Henney, Kelly wrote “the manufacturers of fluoride supplements have had fifty years to conduct clinical trials and toxicology studies to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness and submit them for FDA approval. They have not done so. Fifty years is a long time – even for the FDA”.
