Florida Surgeon General Announces Recommendation Against Fluoridation of Tap Water ‘Due to Neuropsychiatric Risk’ |

Florida Surgeon General Announces Recommendation Against Fluoridation of Tap Water ‘Due to Neuropsychiatric Risk’ |

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has recently made a bold recommendation against the fluoridation of tap water in the state. This decision comes after the city commission in Winter Haven, Florida, voted to remove fluoride from the water by January 1st of next year or as soon as reasonably practical.

In his official announcement, Ladapo cited concerns over the neuropsychiatric risks associated with fluoride exposure. The practice of community water fluoridation, which involves adjusting the amount of fluoride in drinking water to prevent tooth decay, has been a common method in the past. However, several municipalities in the U.S. and European countries like Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and Sweden have already eliminated water fluoridation.

The guidance issued by Ladapo’s office outlined various safety concerns related to systemic fluoride exposure, including adverse effects on children such as reducing IQ, cognitive impairment, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Other risks mentioned include increased neurobehavioral problems in children whose mothers ingested fluoride during pregnancy, accumulation of fluoride in the pineal gland causing sleep cycle disturbance, skeletal fluorosis increasing the risk of bone fracture, potential risk of premature menarche in adolescent girls, and potential suppression of the thyroid gland by inhibiting iodine absorption.

Due to these risks, particularly for pregnant women and children, the State Surgeon General recommends against community water fluoridation. This stance is supported by Robert Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, who announced that the administration will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from tap water on day one.

Kennedy referred to water fluoridation as “industrial waste” and highlighted its association with various health issues such as arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing public health and stated that the Trump administration aims to “Make America Healthy Again” by taking this proactive step.

Ladapo also emphasized the need for further research to address safety and efficacy concerns regarding community water fluoridation. He stated that the previously perceived benefits of fluoridation do not outweigh the known risks, especially for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children.

Overall, the decision to recommend against water fluoridation in Florida reflects a growing awareness of the potential risks associated with fluoride exposure and the importance of prioritizing public health and safety.
