Sara Moniuszko – CBS News May 14, 2025
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday that it is starting the process of removing ingestible fluoride prescription drug products for kids from the market.
The FDA said in a news release it will conduct a scientific review of the children’s products by Oct. 31 with the aim of removing them from the market.
It is not immediately clear whether the agency plans to ban the supplements or request that companies withdraw them.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and reduce cavities, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It does this by repairing and preventing damage to teeth caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acid, which in turn dissolves minerals in a tooth’s surface and can even lead to tooth loss.
Poor oral health has been linked to complications including cardiovascular disease, and experts have told CBS News that preventative care is the best way to keep dental health in check
“Fluoride supplements really do still make a difference,” Dr. Céline Gounder, CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News, said on “CBS Mornings” Wednesday. “In some places you don’t have fluoride in the water, and many kids don’t necessarily brush their teeth regularly with fluoridated toothpaste. They don’t all make it to the dentist on a regular basis.
In general, fluoride can reduce the rate of cavities by about 25%, she added.
But, in the release, the FDA says ingested fluoride has been shown to “alter the gut microbiome,” adding “other studies have suggested an association between fluoride and thyroid disorders, weight gain and possibly decreased IQ.”
In the same release, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said ending the use of ingestible fluoride is “long overdue.” Kennedy has a long history of questioning fluoride’s safety, claiming it’s linked to a number of health problems.
Dental experts largely disagree.
Dr. Aaron Yancoskie, associate dean of academic affairs at Touro College of Dental Medicine, told “CBS Mornings Plus” in November there is “excellent, solid data going back 75 years, showing that fluoride is both safe and it’s extremely effective at decreasing dental decay, that is, cavities, by strengthening the enamel of our teeth.”
The action against ingestible fluoride comes after Kennedy, in April, called for the end of community water fluoridation, praising Utah’s move to ban the mineral from being added to public water systems.
“It makes no sense to have it in our water supply. And I’m very, very proud of this state for being the first state to ban it. And I hope many more will come,” Kennedy told reporters in Utah.
For now, Gounder said parents can still use fluoride toothpastes, mouthwashes and dentist-applied varnishes.
“The big concern here is that you have 70 million Americans who do not have dental insurance,” she added. “We know that low-income kids have three times the risk of dental cavities that go untreated to other kids. So we know that certain populations are really going to see a surge in dental cavities.”
It won’t make any difference if you’re still poisoning them with it in their water.
It doesn’t make any sense to drink it if it’s supposed to help teeth, which are mostly in people’s mouths and not their stomachs.
Why is it always kids? Why not remove it from adults toothpaste if it’s so bad?
Don’t mention why it’s there to begin with. Don’t mention all those rich “dentists”, all recommending this and that and counting their sheckels. Don’t mention that if anyone cared about anyone then whatever is actually supposed to be the “right” thing would be available to everyone for free.
As usual, it’s all about rich jew A arguing with rich jew B about who to screw next.
Fluoride makes you stupid. There’s plenty of proof of that. Just look and listen. Take it out of everything. Let us decide if we need to add it to the other poisons we eat.
mercury was useless
a metal with no purpose
rothschild bought the mercury mines a deadly poison
and guess what
put it in out teeth
i wish they would feed it to carl jones
Fluoride is a by-product mostly from the aluminium industry. It doesn’t have many uses and is so toxic it needs large bodies of water like reservoirs in which to dilute it to tolerable safety levels. Putting it in our water supplies is industrial dumping explained away as public health.

dan nails it in is comment above.
“Fluoride supplements really do still make a difference,” vomited out Dr. Céline Gounder. Oh, they make a difference alright, “Doctor” Demento, a measurable difference in plunging cognitive capabilities, brain damage, and physiological toxicity. “Dr” Grounder should be force fed gallons of flouride, then force fed her own teeth by getting jack-hammered in the face with brass knuckles. Same goes for deranged lying ghoul “Dr” Aaron Yancoskie.
Then there’s lying presstitute cunt Sara Moniuszko of CBS “News” puking out “Dental experts largely disagree.” Then goes on to wave around exactly one bleating imbecile. If the convid-19(84) plandemic should have taught the plebs and ignorati anything, it’s that anyone labeled by the satanic Jew media as an “expert” is assuredly lying f*cking scum or barking mad lunatics. They should all be worked over with tire irons and claw hammers, dragged through the streets by the ankles, then hanged.
While the movement to ban that toxic sewage from water supplies and “supplements” is very sensible and looong overdue, I’m afraid the damage has been done as kids, and people in general, are already dumber than dog shit, poisoned to the core, and have been heavily indoctrinated by the program of degradation and destruction of Jewry.
I’m sure these ‘experts’ are very concerned about tooth decay in ‘low income’ kids
These ‘experts’ are the grandchildren of those in the fluoride movement 75 years ago who disdained the objections of normal, anti communist Americans who voiced suspicions about adding fluoride to the nation’s drinking water.
