Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Drops Fluoride Bombshell: Claims It Lowers Kids’ IQ

Oh great, here we go again. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is back in the spotlight, spouting off about fluoride, claiming it makes kids “stupid.” Yes, you read that right. In a recent interview that has everyone buzzing, the environmental lawyer and controversial figure issued a stark warning—flouride exposure is actually “dumbing down” our children. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. Sure, we’ve heard about fluoride being a hot-button issue before, but now he’s cranked it up a notch by suggesting it’s a direct threat to our kids’ intelligence.
Kennedy’s claims come on the heels of his ongoing crusade against vaccine mandates and other public health measures—so, naturally, this fits right into his narrative. He cited studies linking fluoride ingestion to lower IQ levels, a talking point that’s been circulating in alternative health circles for years. The courtroom of public opinion is in session, and it seems Kennedy is the only one who’s convinced he’s making a compelling case.
Now, let’s not forget that some experts have pushed back against these claims. The American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have both released statements defending the safety of fluoride in drinking water, arguing that the benefits far outweigh the perceived risks. But who needs expert advice when you can just toss around sensational claims to serve an agenda? It’s almost like we live in a reality show where logic and science have been tossed out the window.
Kennedy’s assertions have drawn mixed reactions across social media, with some fans cheering him on while others roll their eyes and question his credibility. This is the same guy who once tried to convince us that vaccines cause autism, so it’s safe to say he’s not exactly winning a Nobel Prize for his scientific contributions anytime soon.
So, what’s next for Kennedy? Will he continue to ride the wave of controversy, or will he pivot to a new target? One thing’s for sure: the drama is far from over. And as much as I want to roll my eyes and move on, it seems like we’ll keep hearing from him. After all, this is what happens when people with too much time and not enough sense start waving their hands around.
