Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He said on Monday to plan to direct the centers for the control and prevention of the disease (CDC) to stop recommending the addition of fluoride in the water, while compiling the working group to take over the problem.
Associated Press reported that Kennedy had published a publication about his plans after attending a press conference with the US Administrator of the LEE Zeldin Protection Agency (EPA).
The EPA announced on Monday that she was reviewing a new science of potential fluorine health risks in drinking water, because the Agency had the authority to set up a maximum fluoride level in public water systems.
Although Kennedy has no authority to tell the communities to stop adding fluorine to water systems, he can direct the CDC to stop recommend it while working with EPA to set the permissible levels.

However, Government Spencer Cox, a Republican, signed the legislation that prohibits cities and communities to decide whether to add a fluoride – a mineral that prevents cavities – water systems governed by these cities and communities.

CDC does not prescribe the water fluoridation in the community, but called the fluoridation of drinking water to one of the 10 large public health interventions of the 20th century, citing a dramatic decline in cavities.
