End water fluoridation in public systems
“Fluoride is a neurotoxin — we’ll tell the truth and end mass exposure.”
Promise broken Promise Date: 10 Apr 2025 Promise Deadline: Indefinite
Promise Details

Kennedy reiterated his opposition to fluoride in public water, calling it a neurotoxin. He announced a review of fluoridation policies with aim to phase out national guidance promoting it. The statement drew fierce backlash from dental and medical associations. No formal rule issued; guidance remains unchanged.

Why it is broken

Plan to end water fluoridation lacked binding national policy; no formal rule issued and expert opposition strong; promise unrealistic in near term.
