Earlier this month, NBC News posted a story titled, “Fluoride once again scrutinized for possible effect on children’s brains.” The second I finished scanning the headline, my very first thought in the form of a question to myself was: “By the end of the Trump administration, how many experts, Democrats, pundits, journalists and celebrities, are going to owe Robert F. Kennedy Jr. an apology?”

In November, just days before President Donald Trump’s victory, Kennedy warned that “On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.”

For years, Kennedy has been warning about fluoride in our water, and for years, countless “experts,” reporters, and politicians have called his warnings “controversial,” “junk science” and “crazy.”

But…not anymore.

Going back to the report from NBC, we have this: “The research, published in JAMA Pediatrics on Monday … found a statistically significant association between higher fluoride exposure and lower children’s IQ scores,” with scientists pointing to “a decrease of 1.63 IQ points in children” exposed.

Wow. If Kennedy is correct about the danger of fluoride with regard to IQ loss — and he clearly is — what else is he correct about with regard to his other warnings pertaining to fluoride? Or for that matter, every other health issue he has been rightfully waving a red flag about for the last few decades?

How about Red dye no. 3? RFK Jr. has also been warning about that for years. As you may have recently heard, the FDA just banned the food coloring, because many believe that it causes cancer. Red dye no. 3 has long been banned in other nations, including the entire European Union, Australia and New Zealand.

Why did the FDA wait until the dawn of the Trump administration to act? Because they knew that once confirmed as secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy was about to land upon them like a ton of bricks. Posted Kennedy on X on Oct. 25: “FDA’s war on public health is about to end. … If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.”
