U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Monday, April 7, that he intends to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stop recommending the fluoridation of public water systems nationwide. He also said a task force of health experts would be formed to review current research on water fluoridation and provide updated guidance.
Although Kennedy does not have the authority to require local communities to end fluoridation, he can influence federal policy through the CDC and collaborate with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on potential regulatory changes.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin joined Kennedy in Salt Lake City to unveil the news. Zeldin also confirmed that the EPA will begin reviewing new scientific data regarding possible health risks associated with fluoride in drinking water.
