Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted that one of the points on his agenda, removing fluoride from water supplies across the nation, would probably cause Americans to get more cavities hence worsening dental health in the United States.

    I never had flouride at all, ever, in my water and I’ve only had maybe 2 cavities.

      1. people do have different teeth.
      2. are you sure? Keep in mind that the most common reason to not flouridate water is because natural flouride levels are sufficient.

          Genes do play a role in dental health. Water flouridation very effectively does a better job providing better results to more people with great reliability. That’s backed by a huge amount of data.

      I lived in a properly fluoridated region and have not had any!
