Trump Tentatively Backs RFK Jr.’s Proposal to Remove Fluoride from Public Water Supply

[Social Media]

 

Former President Donald Trump recently indicated a tentative endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal to remove fluoride from U.S. water supplies, an initiative Kennedy has promoted as part of a broader public health agenda. Speaking to NBC News, Trump stated, “Well, I haven’t talked to him about it yet, but it sounds OK to me.” Trump also added, “You know, it’s possible,” hinting at openness to the controversial measure as he considers roles Kennedy might play in health care should he secure a second term.

 

Kennedy, known for his staunch anti-vaccine stance and outspoken views on various health issues, has suggested he would address vaccines and other public health policies under a potential Trump administration. “Trump’s administration would advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy wrote on social media, contending that fluoride, a naturally occurring element also generated as an industrial byproduct, is linked to numerous health issues. He described it as “industrial waste” and attributed it to conditions like arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. 

 

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) counters this perspective, recommending community water fluoridation as a beneficial, cost-effective measure for oral health. Fluoride, found naturally in water and rocks, has been added to municipal water systems for decades to prevent dental issues. Although excessive fluoride exposure over long periods can lead to skeletal fluorosis, which weakens bones and causes joint pain, the CDC advocates for carefully regulated levels to optimize health benefits while minimizing risks. A recent federal review from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) acknowledged potential risks with fluoride, finding that higher-than-recommended levels could correlate with lower IQ levels in children, particularly at concentrations around twice the recommended limit.

 

Trump has hinted that if he wins reelection, Kennedy may play a prominent role within the health sector, potentially overseeing key health and agricultural agencies. Both Trump and Kennedy have suggested that Kennedy’s responsibilities could include a range of public health initiatives, with Kennedy stating that Trump had assured him he would oversee agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture. In an organizing call last week, Kennedy shared that Trump wants him to address health care and public health issues.

 

Kennedy’s proposed fluoride ban has stirred significant controversy, given his history of sharing debunked theories about the harmful effects of man-made chemicals on health. CNN has previously reported Kennedy’s assertions that certain chemicals in the environment may influence children’s sexual orientation or gender identity—claims that, while lacking scientific backing, have resonated with some fringe groups. These assertions echo the well-known conspiracy theories of Alex Jones, who infamously claimed that chemicals in the water were “turning the friggin’ frogs gay.”

 

Responding to inquiries about Kennedy’s recent statements on fluoride, Trump’s campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez indicated that Trump’s current focus remains on upcoming elections, but Trump has shown support for allowing Kennedy to take a prominent role in health and safety reforms if he wins a second term. At recent rallies in New York and Michigan, Trump reiterated his interest in giving Kennedy significant latitude over health policies. In New York, Trump declared he would let Kennedy “go wild on health,” “go wild on the food,” and “go wild on medicines,” while in Michigan he confirmed that Kennedy would “have a big role in health care” and noted that Kennedy holds “some views that I happen to agree with very strongly.”

 

The idea of removing fluoride from public water has sparked debates, as health experts and organizations like the CDC continue to support regulated fluoride levels as a key public health measure. Despite this, Trump’s tentative support for Kennedy’s unconventional health ideas underscores the unique stance both figures bring to current health policy discussions, adding yet another layer of complexity to an already polarized issue.

Kennedy, known for his staunch anti-vaccine stance

This article is taken from CNN. This is the misinformation that the legacy media pushes and is believed by so many. It's the same demonizing argument used against anyone who didn't want the mRNA jabs. Don't want the Covid jab then you are automatically branded an anti-vaxxer. Here is RFK Jnr. stating he is not anti-vaccine. 2:30. Personally I don't want and didn't have the mRNA jabs and never will but I am NOT an anti-vaxxer.

 

[neeray]

"Former President Donald Trump recently indicated a tentative endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal"  Whatever Trump says he might endorse is meaningless anyway. We should no for certain within 24 to 48 hours. Bye bye Donny.

[Presto]

The idiocy of the Trump campaign for the presidency.

Getting a conspiracy theorist nutcase like RFKjr on board, who constantly babbles about health, while at the same time laying out plans to eliminate regulations, diminish HHS, the EPA, the FDA etc.

 

And the crowds, Trump supporters, are cheering wildly. Because, something.

[pattayasan]

It's funny, a stopped clock can be right twice a day. I support no fluoride in the water but I'm quite sure my reasons differ from RFK.

[Paul Henry]

History and statistic definatively shows that fluride in the water has reduced tooth decay by substantial numbers.Tooth decay leads to other health problems not only teeth and mouth. If Trump gets in dentists will be in short supply because demand will increase as well as their bank accounts. Before you respond to my comments do your research!

[johng]

Floiride might reduce tooth decay

but why put in drinking water where it effects the whole body not just teeth...put it in toothpaste and reiterate that it is not to be swallowed !

Don't even do that. Fluoride kills the mouth microbioeme.

[johng]

if its only in  toothpaste then evryone can avoid it if they want to

,use herbal toothpastes instead

when its in drinking water then much more difficult to avoid.

reverse osmosis filter I think will remove it.

 

 

[Purdey]

Are those still Trump's own teeth? Some think that his diet would have destroyed his natural teeth by now. Would fluoride have helped maintain them?

What are your reasons?

 

Myself and my former wife have both made dentists rich, we were born pre-fluoridation. Our son was fed fluoride drops as a child because we only had rainwater supply. He has had two cavities in his entire life.

 

Fluoride is normally dosed into water at 0.5 ppm. If I were you, I'd be more worried about the fact nearly all water supply is chlorinated, which is a far greater hazard in terms of soft tissue cancers, although health authorities don't talk about it.

 

Don't forget to avoid cups of tea and canned salmon, both of which are rich in fluoride.

 

IMO RFK is a grave danger to the health of Americans, like Trump he is anti-science. Both like appealing to the lunatic fringe.

The nitrate - nitrite conversion is known to chemists as a redox reaction.

 

Nitrates are generated in the stomach from vegetables such as celery, spinach, beets and aragula. A small proportion pass into saliva.

 

Facultative bacteria convert nitrate to nitrite. Production of nitrite in saliva is halted temporarily when mouthwash is used, due to the alcohol content.

 

Fluoride is an inert anion. It has no redox properties. The only way FLUORINE can participate in a redox reaction is if it is present as the molecule, F2.

 

Antacids and pantoprazole reduce stomach acidity. Nitrate content of vegetables does not change.

 

You should be aware excessive nitrite consumption can lead to the formation of nitrosamines, which are known human carcinogens.

 

You are posting breathtakingly ignorant scientific nonsense, with a couple of grains of truth in the morass of junk science.

The maximum daily intake of fluoride recommended by the WHO is 10 mg per kg of body weight. It is a lot lower for children.

 

Fluoride is added to water supply at 0.5 mg/L.

 

A 80 kg adult would therefore have to consume 160 litres of water daily to achieve the maximum permitted dose.

 

You'd have hyponatremia long before you got there.

How the John Birch Society's conspiracies led to political divides in the 1960s

 

"This weekend, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that, if elected, President Donald Trump would work to remove fluoride from all public drinking water in the U.S. Trump has said that Kennedy, who endorsed the Republican after ending his independent White House bid, would play a major role in health policy if Trump wins. The crusade against that widespread public health policy is something that gained prominence back in the 1960s, due in part to one organization that elevated fringe theories."

A guy claiming a worm ate his brain, talking about bears in Central Park, is not a nutter?

 

Please be careful the next time you take a dip in the ocean. Shock horror, it has up to 1.4 mg/L fluoride.

 

Don't drink tea, eat grapes, shellfish, shrimp or potatoes and spinach. The fluoride content may poison you.

 

Just wondering how many posts will be made on this thread by people with zero scientific knowledge.
