6 november 2024 в 01:13
The main issues in the 2024 elections are abortions, immigration, the economy, and now, fluoride in drinking water. Thanks to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this issue has become widely discussed among Donald Trump supporters. But how does this affect Americans when voting for the next president?
Earlier, Kennedy ran in the presidential race as an independent candidate. However, he withdrew his candidacy and endorsed Trump. A day before the election day, Kennedy urged supporters to vote for the Republican and not to list his name as a third option.
«VOTE FOR TRUMP. No matter which state you live in, DO NOT vote for me», - Kennedy wrote on Twitter on November 4, 2024. «Let's bring President Trump back to the White House and me to Washington so we can make America healthy again, end endless wars, and protect our civil liberties».
Fluoride has been added to Americans' drinking water since the mid-20th century. In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, began adding the mineral — which is found in water, soil, plants, and certain foods — to public water. By the 1960s, the US Public Health Service recommended using fluoride in drinking water to strengthen tooth enamel.
Fluoride is also a common ingredient in toothpaste.
During the 2024 presidential elections, Kennedy explained his position on removing fluoride from public water sources in the US. He called the mineral an «industrial waste» that can lead to a variety of physical and «neurodevelopmental disorders».
«On January 20, Trump’s White House will instruct all American water systems to remove fluoride from public water», - Kennedy wrote on Twitter on November 2, 2024. «Fluoride is an industrial waste linked to arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid diseases. President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to make America healthy again».
Responding to Kennedy’s comments on fluoride, Trump said, «Well, I haven’t talked to him about it yet, but it seems normal to me. You know, it’s possible», - NBC News reports.
If Trump is elected president, he noted that Kennedy will have a significant role in his administration
