Fluoridated Water Harmed Americans: Economic Evidence

Fluoridated Water Harmed Americans: Economic Evidence
SHARE

A recent study published in the Journal of Health Economics has shed light on the detrimental effects of fluoridated community water on Americans. The research, conducted by Dr. Adam Roberts from Texas A&M University, now a financial economist at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, found that childhood exposure to fluoride in water led to lower high school graduation rates, reduced economic sufficiency, and poorer physical ability and health in adulthood. Despite the dental benefits of water fluoridation, the study reveals a net negative impact on individuals exposed to it during childhood.

Dr. Roberts utilized a sample of over twenty million individuals and compared those exposed to fluoridated water with those who were not exposed in the same county. The findings highlight the importance of considering the long-term effects of childhood fluoride exposure beyond its dental benefits.

This study exemplifies the rigorous analytical tools and comprehensive data used by economists to address complex medical and health issues. Another example is the research conducted by Dr. Todd Elder from Michigan State University, who found a correlation between kindergarten eligibility cutoff dates and the likelihood of being diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Younger children in the same grade were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD due to teachers’ subjective assessments, leading to potential misdiagnoses and negative consequences.

Additionally, a study published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics by six economists revealed that personal demand plays a significant role in the consumption of healthy vs. unhealthy food. Efforts to equalize the supply of healthy groceries across neighborhoods may be ineffective, as personal preferences drive food consumption choices.

Economists have been instrumental in providing evidence on medical and health issues, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based decision-making in healthcare policies. Robert Kennedy, Jr., nominee for President Trump’s Secretary for Health and Human Services, has pledged to prioritize evidence-based science and transparency in health agencies. By incorporating impactful economic research into health-related policies, America can strive towards a healthier future.

Overall, the integration of economic principles and data analysis in healthcare research offers valuable insights into addressing complex health challenges and improving public health outcomes.
