Donald Trump would push to remove fluoride from drinking water on his first day in office if elected, former independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr declared on Saturday.

In August, the US’s National Toxicology Program released a review suggesting a link between fluoride exposure above 1.5mg of fluoride per litre of water and lower IQ in children. However, experts have pointed out that there is a lack of high quality research on the topic.

The World Health Organization’s safe limit for fluoride in drinking water is 1.5mg of fluoride per litre of water – or 1.5 parts per million. The typical concentration of fluoride in regular toothpaste is between 1,000 and 1,500 parts per million.
