FDA moves to ban fluoride supplements for kids, removing a key tool for dentists

I was under the impression that in general you want Fluoride to be topically applied to teeth, and not swallowed. Perhaps I was misinformed.

> you want Fluoride to be topically applied

Ah, but that depends on who the "you" in question is, and what the ultimate goal is.

I mean if you're a chemical company who's pumping out waste products, and you need a river/well to dump it into, the answer is simple!

ikekkdcjkfke•2h ago
Although you are downvoted, there is a point; I wonder how many products are created just to be used as waste management when creating other products from oil
kuhewa•2h ago
I suppose many products were initially invented to get value or of an underutilized by-product, but as soon as there's a market and people want to buy it, the byproduct is no longer waste.

Low fat milk is the classic example.

Fluoride topically applied to teeth is to put back fluoride that has been leeched out of the enamel. Swallowed fluoride is needed to make the enamel in the first place. I'm not sure how helpful it is to adults, but kids certainly need it.

It feels as though we are on the path toward the government endorsing essential oils, homeopathy, psychics and Ouija Boards. All because one person perceives “science” as a political opponent.
parineum•1h ago
Is that person RFK because it isn't Trump. Trump doesn't give a shit about science, he cares about support. That's why Democrat castoffs (RFK after being antivax was no longer a left wing position and Gabbard for having the audacity to oppose the Clinton machine) found a home under his tent.

Politically, those were great moves. He was able to pull outsider figures from the center-left away from the party that had tripled down on party loyalists.

watwut•1h ago
RFK is not Democrat in any reasonable sense and wasn't for years. RFK is literally Secretary of Health and Human Services appointed by Trump.

And RFK is perfectly matching the rest of Trumps and republican party policies regardless where you look.

Had to look this up because I got the impression that they banned flouride for toothpaste and mouthwash too, this is not the case obviously. The recent FDA move targets prescription fluoride supplements that are swallowed, such as tablets and drops.
