Dentist congressman instantly regrets challenging RFK Jr. on fluoride

Dentist congressman instantly regrets challenging RFK Jr. on fluoride.

Rep. Mike Simpson: “We better put a lot more money into dental education because we’re going to need a whole lot more dentists [if we ban fluoride].”

The rebuttal was too easy for Kennedy.

RFK Jr.: “We now know that virtually all the benefit is from topical, and we can get that through mouthwashes. We can get through fluoridated toothpastes.”

Then he dropped the hammer:

“The National Toxicity Program issued a report in August, a meta review of all the science that now exists on fluoride, and showed a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure dose and lower IQ.”

“Which is an issue that we all have to be concerned with. We want high IQ kids right now,” Kennedy said.
