Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s goal of removing fluoride from the water supply faces challenges regardless of what role he plays on health care in the new Trump administration. Days before

The Winter Haven City Commission voted Tuesday to stop adding fluoride to drinking water after a lengthy public comment period where residents shared health concerns.

With President-elect Donald Trump in the White House, the 21st century may be another story. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump has pledged to let “go wild” on public health under his administration, is an outspoken opponent of adding fluoride to drinking water. He intends to take action.

Kennedy Jr. has previously said that if Republican President-elect Donald Trump won the White House, the administration would advise water systems in the United States to remove fluoride. This is despite experts and officials saying the mineral is both safe and beneficial to people’s dental health.

The top US public health official warned about the threat of curtailing vaccination efforts as longtime skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prepares for an influential role in the incoming Trump administration.

Kennedy has made not secret that one of his first actions in this role would be to remove fluoride from all U.S. water systems amid speculation President-elect Trump would put him in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services.
