A New study It was published at the Jama Health Forum that if the United States wants to remove fluoride from the public drinking water supply – as the Minister of Health at Donald Trump Robert F.
Additional cases represent an increase of 7.5 % in cavities, an additional cost of $ 9.8 billion and a loss of life -modified life 2.9M. These cases will be carried by children inappropriately by children at risk due to tooth decay-that in general health insurance or who lack insurance completely.
“We know that Floride is significantly effective in preventing dental decomposition – it is one of the great public health success stories in the twentieth century,” said Dr. Lisa Simon, an assistant professor at Brigham Hospital and the Women’s Hospital in Harvard, a dentist and one of the professor, a dentist and one of the professor, a dentist.
She added that the United States did not have large numbers to say: “What is the value of all of this? What would happen if we were taking everything away?”
The study comes at a time when Kennedy has made the end of the water teller a major policy as the president’s minister of health. Fluoride recently appeared in “Maha Report”Led by Kennedy and was published amid a stir by the White House last week. The report was later found The invention of the martyrdom And poor research is poor.
Although the Maha report is properly a The last metastatic analysis On the risks of high levels of fluoride, reduce the preventive effects of fluoride and did not comment more on the cavities – a chronic condition affecting Almost half From American children.
The new study found that if fluoride is eliminated from water supply, there will be “one newly decomposing teeth for every third child in America.”
To conduct the new study, Simon and its co -author, Harvard Assistant Professor Harvard in Oral and Epidemiology Song Choi, used representative data at the national level of the United States citizen health Nunel examination scan. Then they used a statistical model to estimate the cost and spread of teeth in children between 0 and 19 years after five years and 10 years. The data examined from 2013-16 and the analysis was performed between November and February this year.
Kennedy argues that the United States should stop clarifying water on the basis that it can negatively affect the intelligence rate, which is correct at very high levels. in Modern station In Utah Kennedy, he said: “Evidence against fluoride is overwhelming.”
Evidence that fluoride causes damage is not, in fact, overwhelming – although science is accurate. The best current evidence follows the medical saying: the dose makes the poison. Modern research It indicates that high levels of fluoride can have neurological toxic effects. However, these damages were not found in levels less than 1.5 parts per million – more than twice the level recommended by the Disease Control Center (0.7 parts per million).

During his mandate, Kennedy has instructed to diseases and prevention control centers (CDC) to review its guidelines on fluoride, which still enhances its use in community water systems; The oral health office was canceled at the Disease Control Center, which made these recommendations; He behaved as a fan of countries like Utah, who banned fluoride.
“We are talking about very low levels, very safe and very organized from the water of the water,” Simon said, adding that the documented neurological toxic effects are at the rates of “10-15 times what people offer in public water flu.”
