US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he plans to tell public health officials to stop recommending fluoridation of drinking water, a key tenet of his Make America Healthy Again agenda.
Kennedy disclosed the plans to the Associated Press on Monday during an event in Salt Lake City. He also said he’s assembling a task force to focus on the issue, the AP reported. Utah recently became the first US state to ban fluoride in drinking water.
