"Kennedy, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump after dropping his own third-party presidential bid, has established himself as an influential promoter of baseless conspiracy theories about vaccines and
other public health staples,
such as water fluoridation,
which he opposes."

So do a million water users around Portland, Oregon.
Science confirms the toxicity of over -fluoridation.
Did the Guardian forget their own article, the EPA and FDA findings?
"Judge has ordered an EPA risk assessment amid fear that additive that strengthens teeth could
harm children’s IQs"

"Armed with a growing body of scientific evidence pointing toward fluoride’s neurotoxicity, public health advocates say the legal win shows they are overcoming “institutional inertia” and the
unwillingness of federal public health agencies
to admit they may have been wrong.
The order last week requiring the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to begin the process of strengthening fluoride regulations represents a “landmark” legal win that has long been in the making, said
Stuart Cooper, director of the Fluoridation Action Network advocacy group."
"The Obama-appointed US judge Edward Chen
found fluoridation could cause developmental damage
and lower IQ
in children at levels to which the public is generally exposed in drinking water.
Though the ruling did not state the level at which fluoridation would damage brains,
the levels in US water
present an unreasonable risk,
the court found."
"The EPA now must perform a risk assessment that is among the first steps in setting new limits under the Toxic Substances Control Act."
"It is added to drinking water for more than 200 million Americans, or about 75% of the population"
'there has always been evidence of the risks, and
the practice is rare
in most other countries, including those in Europe.
The last 15 years have seen an “uptick” in high-quality scientific research demonstrated the risks, said Michael Connett, a Food and Water Watch lead attorney on the case."
"In the ruling’s wake, four water systems, including that which provides water to Salt Lake City, have stopped or suspended fluoridation."
