The US Food and Drug Administration says it is starting the process to remove prescription fluoride tablets and drops from the market.
These products are typically prescribed for babies and children who are at high risk of tooth decay because they drink water that doesn’t contain added fluoride. In Utah, for example, state health officials released guidance this month urging residents to learn more about fluoride supplements after municipal water systems were banned from adding the mineral to water.
In a news release on Tuesday, the US Department of Health and Human Services says that ingested fluoride has been shown to alter the gut microbiome. Other studies have pointed to an association between fluoride and thyroid disorders, weight gain and decreased intelligence, the news release said. They’ve never been formally FDA-approved, HHS said.
“The best way to prevent cavities in children is by avoiding excessive sugar intake and good dental hygiene, not by altering a child’s microbiome. For the same reason that fluoride may kill bacteria on teeth, it may also kill intestinal bacteria important for a child’s health,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said in the release.
“I am instructing our Center for Drug Evaluation and Research to evaluate the evidence regarding the risks of systemic fluoride exposure from FDA-regulated pediatric ingestible fluoride prescription drug products to better inform parents and the medical community on this emerging area. When it comes to children, we should err on the side of safety.”

Term Limits need to happen ASAP. Age limits as well.
Given the shielding properties of water, imagine a sleeping capsule that surrounds one on five sides with six inches of water. Open to the floor for air circulation. The water could be cooled or warmed to control the overall temp inside. Fans could keep the air fresh and reviving. No cellphone signals, no radio, no tv, just piece and quiet.
