A Vermont advocacy group is weighing in on a national debate over fluoride in drinking water.
The Vermont Environmental Justice Network is among more than 140 organizations supporting comments filed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry opposing a proposed fluoride assessment by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In its filing on the EPA’s Fluoride Preliminary Assessment Plan and Literature Survey, the dentists’ group raises these objections:
Mislabeling mild fluorosis: Says the EPA wrongly treats mild dental fluorosis — a cosmetic condition — as a toxic effect.
Reliance on disputed research: Argues the plan leans heavily on a 2024 National Toxicology Program report that failed peer review and includes non-U.S. exposure data.
Ignoring benefits: Criticizes EPA for excluding fluoride’s cavity-prevention benefits from its analysis.
Outdated methodology: Cites an incomplete literature review and lack of a transparent review protocol.
The academy is urging EPA to pause the process and seek an independent review, warning that weakening community water fluoridation could increase tooth decay, especially among low-income children.

There are ways of getting fluoride on your teeth that don’t involve drinking it.
Florine is poison as is well known. Are these protesters in the medical field? Another case of a small group pushing their agenda onto the masses. Fluoride hasn’t protected anything (could be a cause for cancer), if so show results. Over eating sweets like candy, cookies, cakes—sugary junk food. The group isn’t protesting what causes tooth decay. Bottled water from private sources is better, don’t drink tap water.
Let’s hope for all our sakes Trump doesn’t cure cancer!
But then, if you read what is going on with ivermectin and another very inexpensive drug…..they will deny that too.
Hey, maybe Trump could do us a solid and say cultural Marxism and socialism are the way Vermont should be running their government, then we’d have a cure for our demise.
Brass and stainless steel, back flow check valves, fail more often in fluoridated water systems than those with no fluoride. I found this out from an old classmate that changed these valves for the company he worked for in Maine.
