Medicine’s Response to the Changing Science on Fluoride Safety

Ironically, the anti-fluoridationists had historically been accused of their "anti-scientific attitudes," but now it’s many of the pro-fluoridationists. How did the medical and dental community react to U.S. regulators’ total 180 over water fluoridation, going from presumptively safe to presumptively dangerous? We can get the best of both worlds with topical application of fluoride, so I continue to advocate for the use of fluoride toothpaste, but pregnant and breastfeeding women may want to consider non-fluoridated water sources to reduce the apparent risk to the developing brain. This is the final video in my series on water fluoridation. If you missed any of the others, see: • Why Is There Fluoride in Water? Is It Effective? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-is-there-fluoride-in-water-is-it-effective) • Side Effects of Water Fluoridation: Dental Fluorosis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/side-effects-of-water-fluoridation-dental-fluorosis) • Is Water Fluoridation Safe?
