The Fight Over Fluoride - with Dr. Paul Connett

Delivering fluoride through public water supplies was never a good idea. Now we find out, it lowers IQ in children.

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about Trump’s environmental agenda, the alarming national drought, how AI is creating mountains of e-waste, and the fact that it's raining PFAS chemicals in Miami (and everywhere else!) Then Dr. Paul Connett, founder of the Fluoride Action Network, talks about the dangers of adding fluoride to public drinking water, new U.S. government studies showing that exposure to fluoride lowers IQ in children, and the recent court decision ordering the EPA to regulate the toxic substance.
