FDA Targets Fluoride: A Threat to Child IQs?

In a development that has some Americans reevaluating what’s in their water, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is set to ban fluoride prescription products for children. The decision, with a focus on safeguarding child health, underscores concerns that ingestible fluoride could potentially lower children's IQs, impact gut microbiome development, and lead to thyroid disorders. Michael Connett, longtime critic of fluoride (not to be mistaken for toothpaste fluoride), praises this move as overdue and essential for protecting young minds. As more states reconsider fluoride in water, it’s a step toward ensuring public health isn't just a government's security blanket.
