EPA to Review Fluoride in Drinking Water Amid Health Concerns

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced it will expeditiously review new scientific data concerning the presence of fluoride in drinking water, following recent health concerns raised by various stakeholders. This decision comes in the wake of statements from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who emphasized the need for a second look at fluoride's safety.

Adding to the discourse, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental lawyer and vaccine skeptic, has been vocal about his concerns over fluoride during his 'Maha Tour'. Kennedy's tour, aimed at raising awareness about public health issues, has brought the topic of fluoride into the public eye, questioning the long-standing practices of water fluoridation.

The Associated Press reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is also reevaluating its stance on fluoride, prompted by emerging research suggesting potential health risks. This review by the EPA is seen as a critical step in addressing public health concerns and ensuring the safety of drinking water across the United States.
