During the course of our lawsuit against the EPA on water fluoridation, a series of high-quality studies linking fluoride exposure to IQ loss were published. In its appeal, "the EPA now argues that the parties and the judge should have buried their collective heads in the sand…
EPA filed its appeal in the fluoride case yesterday. In its brief, EPA does not challenge the merits of the Court's determination that fluoridation poses an unreasonable risk. Instead, EPA challenges various legal aspects of the case. EPA, @leezeldin and @PamBondi, have the…
After several extensions, the Trump Administration has decided to appeal the federal court decision ordering EPA to address the risk posed by water fluoridation. EPA will be filing its appeal next Friday, July 18. Rather than use the court's decision as an opportunity to…
Q: If fluoridation was stopped, is topical fluoride enough? “The answer is yes.” CNN’s @drsanjaygupta has covered the the issue of water fluoridation fairly and with neutrality. The same cannot be said for the vast majority of Pharma-funded mainstream media.
This is a fantastic development, and one that is long overdue. In 2016, I filed a Citizen Petition with FDA asking the Agency to remove fluoride drops/lozenges ("fluoride supplements") from the market due to their lack of efficacy and dangers. See: fluoridealert.org/wp-content/upl…
Today, FDA announced that it is initiating action to remove concentrated ingestible fluoride prescription drug products for children from the market. Unlike toothpaste with fluoride or fluoride rinses, these products are swallowed and ingested by infants and toddlers.…
Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for your leadership in banning fluoride from Florida’s public water supply. You’re standing up for every Floridian’s right to choose what goes into their own body. That’s the core of the MAHA agenda—restoring informed consent, protecting health freedom,…

Congratulations to Miami Dade County for overturning the Mayor's veto and banning fluoridation today. As a result, over 3 million people will now have water that is free of toxic fluoride chemicals. @RobJGonzalezFL is to be commended for his leadership in making this happen.
🚨 Alert: Could fluoride finally be removed from our drinking water? Michael Connett [@Michaelpconnett] discusses this potentially game-changing move against a notorious neurotoxin. Stay tuned! 💦
A new review on fluoride has just been published in the Annual Review of Public Health. To quote: "fluoride ingestion is not essential for caries prevention, offers little benefit to the fetus and young infant, and can cause dental fluorosis and cognitive deficits. . . .…
Yesterday, the EPA requested an extension to its deadline to appeal the federal court’s ruling that the Agency must take regulatory action to address the neurological risks posed by adding fluoride chemicals to water. EPA’s request came the day after EPA’s announcement that it…
Thank you @EPALeeZeldin for joining me in Utah Monday. Utah has now become the first state in the nation to officially ban fluoride. I also celebrated other MAHA legislation in Arizona including removing harmful chemicals from school lunches and eliminating sugary sodas from SNAP…
.@SecKennedy and Administrator @epaleezeldin joined Utah elected officials for a press conference Monday to celebrate the passage of three MAHA bills: 1. Utah becomes the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water. 2. A ban on the use of specific dyes and chemical…
Miami is the largest city in U.S. history to end its water fluoridation program. It is the latest in a growing list of communities ending this outdated practice in the wake of the federal court's ruling that fluoridated water poses an unreasonable risk to the brain. Thank you for…
What a win for the people! Today, the Miami-Dade County Commission voted to stop fluoridating their water. Comm. @RobJGonzalezFL’s courageous leadership, and all who supported him, made this possible. Current science supports the decision, and it’s a good day for medical freedom!
Utah just became the first state to ban water fluoridation — citing concerns over potential neurotoxic effects on kids. A major shift, as 70% of the US still drinks fluoridated water. @Douglas_Main reports. @FluorideAction @EPA @RobertKennedyJr @HHSGov thenewlede.org/2025/03/utah-f…
BIG PROBLEM: Lobbyist Brandon Edmonston (representing the Florida Dental Association) engaged in blatant misinformation during a Florida Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on water fluoridation, telling elected officials that “fluoride works best systemically”. It is widely…
