On Tuesday, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed a new law mandating that public water systems continue poisoning their citizens by fluoridating drinking water at the current federal guideline of 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter. This law solidifies existing standards amid growing national debate and legal scrutiny surrounding the safety of water fluoridation. Fluoride is known to lower human IQ, cause cancer, cause brittle bones and lead to dementia. Now it is a law in Connecticut that all citizens must suffer this health atrocity.
  • Connecticut Codifies Fluoridation at Federal Levels: Governor Ned Lamont signed a law mandating public water systems in Connecticut continue fluoridating water at the current federal recommendation of 0.7 mg/L, aiming to shield the state from potential future federal rollbacks under the Trump administration.
  • Critics Cite Growing Health Concerns: The Fluoride Action Network and other advocacy groups criticized the law, pointing to a recent federal court ruling that found current fluoridation levels pose an “unreasonable risk” to children’s health, citing links to reduced IQ.
  • Fluoridation Debate Becomes Politicized: Water fluoridation, once a bipartisan public health measure, has become more politically divisive since Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as HHS Secretary and his stated opposition to national fluoridation policies.
  • Federal Legal Battle Continues: Despite growing local bans and legal challenges, the EPA plans to appeal the September 2024 court ruling against it, which had ordered the agency to regulate fluoride due to emerging scientific evidence of harm.

Connecticut passes law mandating water fluoridation at existing levels in move to preempt federal changes

The move comes as a direct response to uncertainty at the federal level, especially in light of recent developments under the Trump administration and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known critic of fluoride. Lamont emphasized that Connecticut’s new law ensures continued adherence to a public health standard that has been “proven safe and effective for many decades,” regardless of future federal decisions. Previously, Connecticut law automatically followed U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommendations. The new legislation freezes fluoride levels at the current standard — 0.7 mg/L — even if HHS adjusts that guidance. Proponents, including the American Dental Association (ADA), hailed the law as a proactive measure to protect community health, citing decades of use and cavity prevention data. However, critics argue the move ignores mounting scientific evidence of harm. The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), an advocacy group opposed to water fluoridation, denounced the new law as “fossilizing” outdated practices. FAN and other groups point to a landmark federal court ruling in September 2024, in which Judge Edward Chen found that current fluoridation levels pose an “unreasonable risk” to children’s health. The ruling cited robust evidence linking fluoride exposure to reduced IQ and other neurological issues. The case, brought by FAN, Mothers Against Fluoridation, and Food & Water Watch, was the first to challenge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Judge Chen’s 80-page decision prompted an EPA review, but the agency has since announced plans to appeal the ruling. Despite the ruling, Connecticut is now among a few states cementing fluoride mandates into law. While water fluoridation is typically a local decision, states often provide infrastructure and funding. This means state-level laws can carry significant influence. Lamont’s office defended the law by repeating long-standing claims that fluoridation reduces cavities by 25%, but provided no new supporting data. Meanwhile, over 60 communities nationwide — including large areas of Florida — have voted to end water fluoridation since the federal ruling. The issue has become more politically charged since Kennedy’s confirmation as HHS secretary. Though Kennedy has indicated he plans to recommend the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) end national fluoride guidance, no such change has yet been implemented. Adding to the controversy, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy in 2015 reduced the recommended fluoride level to 0.7 mg/L after citing potential health risks, though early drafts of the guidance included references to fluoride’s impact on IQ—language later removed from the final report. With Connecticut’s new law, the state locks in current fluoridation standards in a preemptive strike against federal rollback, aligning itself with pro-fluoride institutions while potentially isolating itself from the evolving national and international consensus on the chemical’s risks.
