RFK Jr. wants fluoride out of drinking water. Oregon shows what’s coming.

Fluoride is added to water to strengthen teeth and reduce cavities, but communities are abandoning the practice because of health concerns.
LEBANON, Ore. — Longtime denizens of this town of 20,000 recalled widespread tooth decay among children before the city council voted to add fluoride to the drinking water two decades ago. But a group of residents remained unconvinced.
They urged neighbors to do their own research, insisting it would reveal that the mineral embraced for generations to improve oral health was actually a dangerous substance that could harm their organs. They shared photos of corroded pipes and scarred arms they claimed were damaged by the acidic, concentrated form of fluoride. Was it worth $25,000 a year in tax dollars for the city to put fluoride in drinking water?
The skepticism prevailed on Election Day as Lebanon voters narrowly voted to removefluoride from the water supply, mirroring how more Americans are starting to question a practice experts have lauded as one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.
